Cross-sector team to present ‘Save Our Pharmacies’ petition to Number 10

Pharmacy teams across the country are joining forces for the second day of protest, organised by the National Pharmacy Association (NPA), as part of
its #SaveOurPharmacies campaign, on Thursday (September 19).

A cross-sector delegation will present a petition signed by a record-breaking 350,000 people to No 10 Downing Street.

The delegation will include National Pharmacy Association (NPA) CEO Paul Rees, NPA Chair Nick Kaye, Community Pharmacy England (CPE) Chief Executive Janet Morrison,
Company Chemists’ Association (CCA) CEO Malcolm Harrison, and Community Pharmacy NI Chief Executive Gerard Greene,

The Save Our Pharmacies petition has surpassed the previous record held by a Royal College of GPs in 2014, whose petition, addressing the issue of general practice
funding, secured 300,000 signatures.

The NPA is hopeful that this show of solidarity by pharmacy teams will make a difference and open up conversations in Westminster and Whitehall.
