Welsh Conservatives Debate - Supporting pharmacists
NDM7971 Darren Millar (Clwyd West)
To propose that the Senedd:
1. Recognises the vital work pharmacists
have undertaken throughout the pandemic, as well as their crucial role in
supporting primary and secondary care.
2. Welcomes the new National Clinical
Community Pharmacy Service coming into force on 1 April 2022.
3. Is concerned by results from the Royal
Pharmaceutical Society’s 2021 Workforce Wellbeing Survey, which shows
that nine out of 10 respondents were at high risk of burnout and one
in three had considered leaving the profession altogether.
4. Calls on the Welsh Government to:
a) urgently reduce bureaucracy by
introducing e-prescriptions and providing access to medical records;
b) ensure dedicated protected learning time
within working hours for wellbeing and study;
c) invest in the pharmacy workforce to
train more pharmacy staff and upskill existing staff.
