On Monday this week Adam and Gill supported Mark Feeney of Bannerman's pharmacy group in hosting Annie Wells MSP (Scottish Conservative and Unionist Party) at Possil Pharmacy, Glasgow.
Annie is the Shadow Minister for Drugs, Alcohol and Women's Health – so we focussed our conversations on these areas. In our Manifesto, we call for a national substance use service specification with national funding to support it – and the expansion of women's health services into regular contraception and menopause consultations.
As we head towards May's elections, we will be following up with Annie and a wide range of other MSPs across the parties to champion community pharmacy on behalf of members.
