Patients and the NHS will ‘be hurt’ as junior doctors walk out on Tuesday morning for the start of a 96-hour strike, a senior medic has warned 🔴 SerinaSandhu1 reports
Dr Leyla Hannbeck, CEO of the Association of Independent Multiple Pharmacies, said: “For years pharmacies have been underfunded and under resourced because of the poor decisions made by NHS bosses, our sector is currently fighting for its survival – we have no capacity to step in and help whilst junior doctors are on strike.
“Ultimately this comes down to the Government being shortsighted and failing to recognise the important role that pharmacists have in community, and they are not a substitute for other healthcare professionals, but are there to complement and work with other healthcare professionals.” He said there is “no question” this strike will be more disruptive than the 72-hour walkouts by NHS staff last month, which led to 175,000 cancelled appointments.
“The health service has to meet high levels of demand at the same time as making inroads into that huge backlog that built up before Covid, but then built up much more during Covid.
