#PharmacyHeroes

Pharmacy teams are key frontline workers during the Covid-19 pandemic. They are often forgotten and deserve full recognition for their contribution, bravery and hard work during the crisis. Pharmacies have continued to have their doors open to members of the public, and have truly shown their dedication, resilience and professionalism during these unprecedented times.

We would like to thank each and every member of the pharmacy team, and here we have some messages of encouragement and gratitude for you.

Thank you to our #pharmacyheroes

I want you to know that all the Health Ministers are incredibly grateful for all of the work you are doing. We are living through unprecedented times and I recognise that pharmacists, pharmacy technicians and their teams across the country are providing an outstanding response to patients in challenging circumstances.”
She acknowledges the challenging situation faced by pharmacists and says ” I know that you are all working incredibly hard to keep your communities safe and I want you to know that I fully understand these concerns and am committed to getting you what you need, to do the best for the people you serve.”
