The Royal Pharmaceutical Society in Scotland has announced that it has consulted with its members, the profession and other pharmacy organisations and have drawn together a list of asks for political parties that will deliver the best results for the pharmacy profession and for the people of Scotland.

 

Included in the manifesto are calls to:

 

  • Ensure that IT systems across health and social care are interoperable with one another
  • Enable read and write access to a full and integrated electronic patient record for pharmacists in all care settings
  • Involve pharmacists and their teams in identifying and delivering solutions for reducing health inequalities
  • Promote and enhance the role of pharmacy teams in primary care vaccination and immunisation services
  • Ensure time for learning and development is available for all pharmacists
  • Ensure that all pharmacy teams providing NHS services, including in the community pharmacy setting, are recognised and valued as key workers
  • Promote and invest in the pharmacy profession as an attractive career choice
  • Fully fund and resource pharmacy to provide seven-day clinical services to meet the needs of patients and support the multidisciplinary team in hospitals
