#PharmacyTechnician education rightly changes over time to take into account changes to policy, legislation and research but it’s not always informed by those who use it. Is there anything you wish you had been taught or would want to add to your knowledge? 1/2

As a #PharmacyTechnician which other professional groups do you think it would be in the best interest of the profession to collaborate with? Through the election process which APTUK Vice President candidate(s) have shown that they agree and can help us achieve those ambitions?

Alison Hemsworth @alisonhemsworth.bsky.social · 18/01/2026

How included do you feel as part of the #PharmacyTechnician profession? It means many things to different people. What one thing for you needs changing and which APTUK Vice President candidate do you think could help the profession achieve what’s important to you?

#PharmacyTechnicians what’s your personal vision for the development of the pharmacy technician profession? How can voting in the APTUK Vice President elections help you to achieve that vision?

Alison Hemsworth @alisonhemsworth.bsky.social · 16/01/2026

In an integrated world working in silos should be a historic fact. Do u feel that is happening 4 #PharmacyTechnicians? Do u feel intradisciplinary working & training between our profession and pharmacists is strong enough? If not which APTUK Vice President can help to change that?

Alison Hemsworth @alisonhemsworth.bsky.social · 15/01/2026

#PharmacyTechnicians one of the things pharmacy technician professional leadership bodies are grappling with worldwide is advanced practice standards. Which APTUK Vice President candidate do you think will bring the most experience to enable them to influence this debate?

Education & training is important especially in #healthcare A Navy SEAL was asked, "why do you train in such extreme conditions?" He replied “Under pressure you don’t rise to the occasion, you sink to the level of your #training. That’s why we train so hard.” #WednesdayWisdom

This is so needed. When my Dad was in his last few months and pinging in and out of hospital I had to pretty much create a vigil to make sure he got his Parkinson’s meds on time. One nurse said to me I have so many alarms set for your Dad I can’t possibly respond to them all.

I’ve been amazed by how quickly I’ve amassed followers here but for most of them I don’t know the reason because there either is no associated bio or the person’s ‘handle’ doesn’t tell me who they are. That’s not conducive to effective networking. Let’s make our connections meaningful.
