Just a few more days for UK #pharmacists to complete the survey to tell us what they think about #AdvancedPractice credentialing.
We've had a great response but would love to hear from more people in community and primary care and more early-career pharmacists. Make your views heard!

It's the perfect time to launch the survey by my MPharm4 project students. They're investigating factors that help and hinder pharmacists to achieve #AdvancedPractice recognition.

Singing in a church choir is an important part of my life outside my work. I also love the season of Advent with it's acknowledgement of darkness, uncertainty and waiting. I thought I'd share some pieces of music that resonate with me during this time of year. A moment to pause.

In my view, this cuts to the heart of many of the problems with how the NHS now runs. Benefits of continuity of care are hard to prove in research studies (although I know there are some) but not everything important can be easily measured.
When you're living with a chronic condition, continuity of care helps to contain anxiety- when you know there'll be a reassuring response in the event of inevitable flare ups. The ongoing relationship IS the intervention.
Services can't offer this anymore, & there's increased anxiety throughout.

You'd be supporting my MPharm4 students and increasing understanding of an important topic.
Could opinion leaders like @pharmrj.pharmsky.app @hpillminster.pharmsky.app and @pharmacistdaz.uk help spread the word?

I did my best to channel the skills of @thementalelf.bsky.social at the @swpharmres.bsky.social Innovation Day for those who couldn't make it in person. I don't think I was up to their excellent standards, but if you search #SWPRN25 you should be able to get a taster of the day.
