​Ask Your Pharmacist Week 2023

Ask Your Pharmacist Week is the annual awareness-raising campaign organised by the National Pharmacy Association (NPA) and supported by NHS England and runs from 30th October – 6th November.

This year’s theme, ‘Meet Your Local Pharmacy Team’, is aiming to raise awareness of the NHS services and skilled staff available in their local pharmacies with the strapline - Convenient, clinical care.

The campaign will also emphasise that community pharmacists works closely with GPs and the rest of the local healthcare team to make sure people get the best possible care.
