PSNC, PV and RPS encourage MP pharmacy visits

PSNC, Pharmacy Voice and the Royal Pharmaceutical Society (RPS) have joined forces to encourage community pharmacies to showcase the flu vaccination service to their local MP or councillor.

The pharmacy organisations have issued a resources toolkit for LPCs to make it as easy as possible for them to arrange a visit with local politicians and generate wider media interest in the flu service and the pharmacy itself.

The toolkit includes:

  • A how-to guide to organising an MP flu vaccination visit
  • A letter to send to the local MP or councillors
  • An invitation for the media
  • A template press release to promote the visit afterwards.

In a joint statement the organisations said: “We expect community pharmacies to have given more than 150,000 flu vaccinations by the end of this week so it’s clear that this new Advanced Service is going really well in many areas… We hope these resources will make organising [visits from an MP or councillor] very easy for those LPCs who have not yet had a chance to contact local politicians about the service, and we look forward to hearing about some successful visits.”
