October 19th to 25th, 2025 marks National Pharmacy Week. A time to recognize and celebrate the invaluable contributions that pharmacists and pharmacy teams make to patient care. In hospitals, community pharmacies, clinics, and general practices across the country.

Pharmacists play a vital role in ensuring that patients receive the right medication, the right advice, and the best possible outcomes from their treatments. They are an essential part of the healthcare team, working closely with GPs and nurses to help patients manage their conditions safely and effectively.

National Pharmacy Week is also an opportunity to raise awareness about how pharmacists support patients every day. From providing medication reviews and health advice to guiding people on over-the-counter treatments and self-care.
