Pharmacists send warning over shortage of vital medicines across the UK

A warning has been issued by pharmacists across the country, as vital medicines are in short supply.

As reported by HullLive, a poll of 1,562 pharmacists for the Pharmaceutical Journal found that more than half of the workers - 54 per cent - believe patients have been put at risk in the last six months due to the shortages.

Patients have been facing difficulties in accessing their vital drugs, with some having to visit multiple centres to find their medication. Some even needed to go direct to their GP to be prescribed an alternative drug.
