PHARMACY CAMPAIGN FOCUS - Downing Street Petition - Over 100,000 Signatures

As you will know we have been backing the NPA pharmacy campaign  to oppose the pharmacy funding cuts announced just before Christmas.    Part of this campaign has been the Petition to Downing Street to urge the Prime Minister and Health Secretary to re-consider.   This is a paper petition and is different to the online petition which targets the MP's in Parliament and is one of the elements that you can help with.

It is important that all pharmacies get involved to have the biggest impact and the Petition is a really easy way for you and your teams to help.

Please note that pharmacies in Gateshead and South Tyneside area will be receiving shortly a starter pack delivered by a LPC committee member to help you start.  You do not need to wait for this pack you can start today by downloading the petition and poster from the links above.

It is really important to make our voice heard so please get behind the campaign.  We understand that there has been over 100,000 signatures so far from a limited number of pharmacies and it is hoped that once every Pharmacy takes part this number could rise to well over a million.
