Review of the Year

View in browser Greetings, How do you even begin to sum up a year like the one we've just had? Coronavirus dominated, of course it did, but it certainly wasn't the only story of the year. The past 12 months have actually seen significant developments in pharmacy across all areas of practice, service development, regulation and business – all reported in Pharmacy Magazine and by our daily news service, Pharmacy Network News. Nevertheless, Covid featured strongly amongst our 'most read' news items for 2020, as you can see from our top five stories of the year. And because, despite everything, pharmacists still managed to keep up with their CPD (you really are magnificent), here are our top five learning modules as well. It's been an extraordinary year, which has seen community pharmacy at its finest. Thank you and whatever happens in 2021, we'll be supporting you all the way with our market leading news, analysis, learning content and opinion.
