Flu services

The London’s city wide flu scheme has been given the green light for a third year, the LMC are waiting to see the detail of the scheme before they decide how best to work with pharmacies in the city. If you are in the city and you want to offer the service, ensure that your pharmacists are trained and that you have the correct SOPs in place. The BMA are still refusing to back the pharmacy flu schemes until evidence is seen of significant increase in uptake of the vaccines.  If you require training on injection techniques, first aid, defibrillator use or oxygen use in your pharmacy or clinic Pharmacy Consulting offer some new courses, with special discounts for block bookings.
