Death in service

PDA welcome reversal of decision to exclude community pharmacists

The PDA has welcomed the u-turn by the Secretary of State Matt Hancock and praised pharmacists for their professional unity.

Matt Hancock MP has confirmed that community pharmacists in England will be included in the death in service benefit.

Vaughan Gething and Matt Hancock have confirmed that community pharmacy teams in Wales and England will be included in the death in service benefit.

RPS is ‘demanding’ urgent clarification governments across Great Britain about the inclusion of pharmacy teams in their new death in service benefit.

I’m appalled by the fact that community pharmacy teams don’t appear to have been included in the announcement of a £60,000 death in service benefit.
