Yes we are most definitely essential to patient care. We are at the start of a potentially exciting time for the #PharmacyTechnician profession BUT it’s a drop in the ocean to what we could do if given the right opportunities.
In our @CommonsHealth evidence session on the future of pharmacy yesterday, I asked @NicStk about how could we raise awareness of the vital role of pharmacy technicians. Pharmacy technicians are essential to our healthcare system, but rarely get the recognitionΒ theyΒ deserve.

Just spent interesting morning listening to the recordings. Thrilled to see @VP_APTUK flying the flag, being our #PharmacyTechnician professional voice #advocate #legislation #change #PGDs #Supervison So important for policy makers to understand #Pharmacy & the quest continues
Nic Stockmann talking live in Parliament - β€œThe key enablers including legislation - including recognition as autonomous professionals and PGDs- for pharmacy technicians to fully contribute to safety and capacity” @VP_APTUK @CommonsHealth @APTUK1 @pcpa_org @UKCPA

Absolutely Karen, I had a number of thoughts about this & particularly the point about paying a significant sum up front not being possible for those who would benefit most. A rethink needed to ensure patients can afford their prescribed medicines.

Interesting to hear from @william_pett here πŸ‘‡ about low level knowledge about pre-payment certificates… surely this could be solved with IT solutions … how hard could it be to flag those who pay & include info in bag? @Pharmacistdaz

Unbelievable & so very disappointing that there is such a lack of understanding @TheGPhC & a lack of quality for signing off such publications #PharmacyTechnician @APTUK1

The concept of #PharmacyTechnicians being researchers is relatively new but growing. If you come along to the Pharmacy Technician theatre @pharmacyshow 16/10 you can hear a panel session including @ChamberlainRS @MelB_UEA and myself talk more about this idea.

Kindness can be so rewarding. Not only do we get a dopamine hit when we display kindness, but it has other wider benefits. Which do you think is most beneficial from this diagram? #kindworkplaces

Here here @MelB_UEA & thanks for your fantastic session on 'getting into research'. So many opportunities on the horizon, more I believe, than ever seen before. Let's shout about our practice loudly & support this with research evidence. Great time to be a #pharmacytechnician
Reflecting this morning on the last two days - exhausted! Thank you @APTUK1 for a stellar conference at #APTUK2023. What a turn out for the pharmacy technician profession!

Such sad & shocking news. Sincere condolences to Nina's friends & family. Nina was so passionate & motivational. A true loss for pharmacy. A real privilege to have known & learnt from her. Sleep peacefully Nina πŸ™
A heart breaking day. Nina Barnett was the best of us. There are so many of us reflecting tonight on what she meant to us and how she inspired us. A titan of pharmacy. Thank you Nina. πŸ’”
