What the petition asks
During COVID-19 pharmacist were a key part of the NHS's fight. Yet unlike other contractors to the NHS, like GPs and Dentists, we are denied access to an NHS pension. This must be discussed.
There are 30,000 community pharmacist in the UK. Which is a similar number to that of GPs, who do have access to the NHS pension. We work tirelessly to maintain the health of our patient support GPS, find medicines at best cost to the NHS, support patients who are on long term meds. All of our work will have been further highlighted during the COVID-19 pandemic.
