Pharmacy Professionals Recovery Group (PPRG)
Pharmacy Professionals Recovery Group (PPRG) working alongside, but independently from, Pharmacist Support is a group of pharmacists, with varying lengths of sobriety, who offer peer support both collectively and individually. They would like to reach pharmacy professionals at an earlier stage before addiction becomes a regulatory issue.
The PPRG meets monthly, via Zoom, on the first Sunday of each month. Any pharmacist or pharmacy technician who thinks they may have a problem with alcohol or drugs can join. See more details below about the group and how you can contact them if you would like more details or to join an upcoming Zoom meeting.
Abusive Behaviour Can Leave Gaps
During the pandemic, reports of abuse directed at community pharmacy teams and doctors’ surgery staff across West Yorkshire have increased. In response, the West Yorkshire Health and Care Partnership launched an insight driven campaign called ‘Leaving a Gap’ to make people think about the consequences of abusive behaviour. Co-produced with staff and patients, the campaign recognises that services are extremely busy, and it can be frustrating for people accessing care.
All campaign materials can be downloaded from the following website: https://www.wypartnership.co.uk/our-priorities/primary-and-community-care-services/leaving-a-gap.
You can use the ‘Leaving a Gap’ campaign message by displaying it in your public spaces, publishing it on your website and via social media. There are A4 and A5 size posters as well as social media images, a website banner and hero image and an animated video you can download.
