Covid vaccination looms large this week. Hurrah for Ashburton Prescribing Consultants; boo for the postcode lottery and professional co-operation in Hampshire.

In the interview slot, Community Pharmacy Scotland chief executive Harry McQuillan tells Richard Thomas about the sector’s response to the pandemic and building relationships with Government. And there’s a shout out for this week’s launch of the only national awards scheme exclusively for community pharmacy team members - Training Matters’ Recognition of Excellence Awards 2021.
