Volunteer with Pharmacist Support

Pharmacist Support relies on volunteers to deliver its services to pharmacists in need all over Great Britain. All of our volunteers are pharmacists or retired pharmacists and because of this shared professional background, our volunteers are uniquely able to understand the specific pressures affecting pharmacists and their families. Volunteering provides you with the opportunity to help others.

Home Visiting

Home Visitors visit beneficiaries in their home all over Great Britain. They will support members by listening to their concerns, identifying their needs and helping to apply for any assistance they may require.

We will put information on the website and in the PJ when we are next recruiting for Home Visitors.

Listening Friends

The ’Listening Friends’ service offers telephone help to pharmacists under stress. A Listening Friend will spend time talking to the member who needs their support and help direct them to further support, if it is required. The service applies to work-related problems and problems outside of work.

 * We recruit Listening Friends volunteers annually (usually toward the end of the year) and will post any opportunities on our website and in the PJ.
