Community pharmacy team writes an open letter to Matt Hancock MP

11th August 2019 by PIP editor Leave a Comment

Unfortunately, I feel that this has started to change in the last few years since the funding to Community Pharmacy was drastically reduced.

That said, really very little has changed in community pharmacy in the last 30 years.
