It’s not always easy being an Irish football fan, especially over the last 7-8 years, but oh my god the highs are absolutely the highest

A day well spent with #pharmacy colleagues at the SP3A conference in Glasgow yesterday. A lot of the presentations seems to reframe our role as one to facilitate and advocate for patients access to medications rather than be gatekeepers.

Been a long week, and the weathers rubbish, so binge watched Blue Lights tonight. Really love this show, tense and exciting as well as silly and soppy, with examples of trauma informed care, lived experience and, most explicitly, the power of a team. Class
