Coronavirus: High street pharmacists 'needlessly put at risk'

Graham Phillips, 60, is a pharmacist who runs several pharmacies in Hertfordshire and Essex. He said"my blood is boiling at the callous indifference NHS England has shown towards me and my colleagues."I have tried to source PPE at my own cost - but it has proved impossible to find adequate supplies and I am certain some of my colleagues will die as a result."

"Pharmacies should not be having to go out and buy protection to keep them safe - this should be supplied by the NHS. Without it pharmacists are being needlessly put at risk." "We are unprotected and the most at risk. People could be asymptomatic or with the coronavirus symptoms.""One guy came in for advice the other day saying my partner has coronavirus, what should I do? I told him he needed to leave the pharmacy, self-isolate at home and call 111."

JohnathanLaird A patient of ours, a dental nurse, came in for a script yesterday. Questioning our lack of PPE she returned with 2 boxes of gloves from her employer. What an angel. We are so grateful for the good ones ❤️

GP's and dentists closed except by phone contact, we don't have that luxury

Prescription volume is 1/3 but that doesn't reflect the overall increase in workload. Point is (we all know this) that in a just-in-time system, when one thing goes wrong the entire system log-jams and is almost irrecoverable

This is disgustingly leaving a message that some health professionals are more privileged than the other while they all play same role ‘saving life’. NHS should take this into considerations.
