No. Young people have so much loss & grief; their teachers & parents burnt out; their future one of debt & collapsing ecosystem.

Young people are the canaries in the coal mine & we need to listen to them.

#PharmSky UK pharmacists pls consider taking part in this survey on #AdvancedPractice

You'd be supporting my MPharm4 students and increasing understanding of an important topic.

Could opinion leaders like @pharmrj.pharmsky.app @hpillminster.pharmsky.app and @pharmacistdaz.uk help spread the word?
Happy #AdvancingPractice2025 week.

🧵1/5

It's the perfect time to launch the survey by my MPharm4 project students. They're investigating factors that help and hinder pharmacists to achieve #AdvancedPractice recognition.
