Pharmacist Support, the pharmacist charity, has partnered with Orion Pharma to champion positive wellbeing in pharmacy by raising awareness and funding.

Orion Pharma is the headline sponsor of Pharmacist Support’s annual flagship wellbeing campaign, ACTNow, which supports pharmacists, pharmacy managers and pharmacy teams with mental health and wellbeing.

In addition, Orion Pharma will sponsor Pharmacist Support’s podcast ‘A Dose of Wellbeing’, which explores the challenges facing the profession and shares practical advice, insights and lived experiences to support those working and studying in pharmacy. 

Pharmacist Support’s 2024 Workforce Wellbeing Survey (in conjunction with the RPS and APTUK), revealed that 87% of pharmacy professionals reported that they’re at high risk of burnout, with inadequate staffing, work-life balance challenges, financial pressures, lack of support from colleagues or senior staff and long working hours affecting their wellbeing.

Danielle Hunt, Pharmacist Support’s Chief Executive, said: “With pharmacists up and down the country continuing to struggle with workplace and personal challenges, this new partnership with Orion Pharma will play an important role in supporting the wellbeing our pharmacy family. By working together, we’ll be able to help even more people in our profession and we look forward to having a greater impact over the course of our partnership.”
