It's good news that pharmacy teams opinions are being sought, there is a sense of us being invisible much of the time and being left to pick up the pieces of what can feel like well intentioned but poorly thought through processes. However 74% of a survey is hardly overwhelming when it represents only 254 votes. Can it be taken as a mandate to inform policy, as appears to be suggested? If it stimulates discussion and thought, great! If not, the NHS and other bodies will lick their lips and polish the very boots that will, as usual, walk all over pharmacy. This does not assist CPE in negotiating a secure future for pharmacy.

Pharmacists united?! More like lemmings with a death wish. Wes Streeting will be quaking in his office, rubbing his hands with glee. Spectacular own goal with no V.A.R. Check out the BMA LMC conference on 22nd November to smell the coffee. Page 26, 19a for one but loads of contentious items we should be uniting over.
