So sad to have lost the first GP and the first pharmacist & knowing there will be mores
This SOP that states #communitypharmacy isn’t frontline needs to be retracted & updated urgently. Anyone working in pharmacy knows there is no social distancing& no 2m rule & ofcourse no PPE.
So there you have it. We dont need PPE because according to the 20 page SOP that none of us has had time to read, community pharmacy teams are not frontline staff and don't need it @JillLoader @NHSEngland

This could easily have been me or anyone else in pharmacy. I'm lucky I can work from home, my friends in community can't. These guys are risking the health of themselves & their families. They should be protected and lauded for their commitment. Sincere condolences to her family
Pooja Sharma, 31 yr old hospital pharmacist. May you and your dad rest in peace.
#covid19UK doesn't discriminate.
All Workers need #PPE. Neice tells me health boards in 🏴 advise community pharma dont use #PPE unless COVID risk is clear. My advice Walk Out! Workers are not pawns

Absolutely agree, GP Pharmacists have been working flat out to ensure safe delivery of essential services. Many have been supporting stretched services in community pharmacy at the same time #thankyouGPpharmacists
