The Royal Pharmaceutical Society (RPS) and Pharmacist Support brought together professional bodies, employers, trade unions, regulators, students and academics for a roundtable discussion about the crucial issue of wellbeing for pharmacy teams. The group focused on the findings of the annual workforce wellbeing survey and discussed how to tackle this through collaborative action across the profession.

Our new workforce wellbeing survey reveals an alarming trend of burnout among pharmacy teams, coupled with a lack of time for professional development.

A report of the meeting will be available shortly.

Amandeep Doll, RPS Head of Professional Belonging, said: “The roundtable provided a valuable platform for key stakeholders to come together to further explore the pressing issue of wellbeing in the profession and identify areas where further actions need to be undertaken. We are committed to supporting pharmacy teams across all sectors of practice and look forward to implementing the actions identified during the discussion.”
