Using fake online pharmacies puts you at risk of serious harm.

More people than ever are buying medicines online, but fake online pharmacies can dispense medicines that are inappropriate, ineffectively dosed, or even counterfeit. These counterfeit medicines could include seriously dangerous substances such as cement and even arsenic.

This is why it's vitally important to make sure that any pharmacy you use is registered with the General Pharmaceutical Council.

✅ How to check an online pharmacy:

1. Find the pharmacy's GPhC registration number on its website.
2. Search for the pharmacy on the official GPhC register.
3. If the pharmacy is not listed, do not use it.

Taking one moment to check a pharmacy's registration could save your life.

🧠 March is Brain Tumour Awareness Month 🧠

This month, we stand in support of everyone affected by brain tumours - patients, families, carers, and healthcare professionals.

Brain tumours can impact anyone at any age, and symptoms are often complex and non-specific, making awareness and early recognition vital. As future pharmacists and healthcare leaders, we play an important role in recognising red flag symptoms, supporting patients through treatment, and promoting safe, evidence-based care.

We also acknowledge the vital work of organisations such as Brain Tumour Research and The Brain Tumour Charity, who continue to fund research, provide support services, and campaign for improved outcomes.

Together, we can raise awareness, encourage conversations, and support ongoing research to improve diagnosis, treatment, and quality of life.
