Community Pharmacy NI Statement on latest pharmacy attack

Pharmacy staff work in the heart of their communities, providing vital services and trusted healthcare advice to those most vulnerable in society. It is completely unacceptable that they should be attacked while carrying out their jobs.

There is a zero tolerance on any form of abuse on pharmacy teams in Northern Ireland and we reiterate our support for the team who suffered such an attack. We call on the public to be kind, understand the difficult environment that our community pharmacists are working in and have patience.
