Coronavirus and Pharmacy Life

Charles Amoako*

The profession is well known for its high stress levels amongst staff, based on the data collected by National institute for occupational safety and health (NIOSH), pharmacists qualify as a profession with high suicide rate. When the virus first hit, pharmacies were inundated with prescription volumes for inhalers and steroid drugs as prescribers and patients scrummaged for these items. Pharmacists had to process acutely high NHS prescription volumes with sometimes less staff (due to the virus impacting their health and the rules around isolation).
