Great to be at the Royal College of Pharmacy Fellows’ dinner last night. So enjoyed @drrageshri.bsky.social as guest speaker re the Unheard. Reminder to listen better & use privilege to amplify. Reminded me of the desire for a Louding Voice. @clarepharmacy.bsky.social @raliatonatade.bsky.social

Good to see the discussion re moving to a Royal College & re union role etc. I think we need a strong & respected leadership body; excellent unions & trade bodies; an effective modern regulator.
