Ask Your Pharmacist Week 2024

Ask Your Pharmacist (AYP) Week is the annual public awareness campaign for community pharmacy across the UK. AYP Week this year is 4-11 November.

This year the theme is ‘Professional and convenient healthcare, from your local pharmacy team’.

This year the theme is ‘Professional and convenient healthcare, from your local pharmacy team’.

As in last year’s campaign, we are highlighting the skills and knowledge of community pharmacists and the wider pharmacy team, and their track record of safely delivering clinical services, including treatment for common illnesses.

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

The central message of this campaign is:

Your local pharmacy team is highly skilled and well equipped to provide convenient clinical care, including treatment for common illnesses, as part of the wider local NHS team.
