Nashville, TN (December 20, 2021) – Overwhelmed pharmacists and pharmacy technicians have loudly expressed concerns about busy pharmacy practice settings in Tennessee and across the country. This cry for help is evidenced by a pharmacy walkout today in many community pharmacy practice settings.
The Tennessee Pharmacists Association (TPA) unwaveringly supports our members and the work of pharmacy teams, as they seek overdue action to improve eroding workplace conditions. We have heard our members’ concerns, and we reassure you of our commitment to helping you. Our profession rightfully demands action to keep themselves and their patients safe, while not compromising public welfare by abandoning patients who rely on them. Serving patients and ensuring patient safety are core to the profession of pharmacy.
