How we can help

Pharmacist Support is an entirely independent organisation and access to our support is completely confidential.

Information, resources and support to help you look after your wellbeing, navigate life’s challenges and thrive throughout your pharmacy journey.

At Pharmacist Support, we know that people don’t always know what type of support they need when they first reach out. You might have a specific challenge or question, be looking for practical information or simply want to take steps to look after your wellbeing.

That’s why we organise our support around what you may be experiencing, making it easier to understand how we can help and find the support that feels right for you.

Supporting you throughout your pharmacy journey

Our support covers four key areas:

Mental health and wellbeing
Protecting and supporting your mental and physical health.

Financial health
Building financial confidence as well as providing advice and help.

Workplace wellbeing
Helping individuals and organisations build healthier working environments.

Studying and training
Helping you thrive throughout your studies, training and early career.

Different support for different needs

There’s no single way to look after your wellbeing and the support you need may change at different points in your life and career.

Sometimes you may simply be looking for information, practical guidance or tools that can help you take positive steps for yourself. At other times, you might want to talk to someone or need more personalised or specialist support.

That’s why our support includes:

  • Trusted information and guidance to help you understand and navigate the challenges you may be facing
  • Practical resources and self-help tools to support your wellbeing and help you take positive steps
  • Wellbeing campaigns, workshops, online learning and podcasts to build knowledge, confidence and healthy habits
  • Confidential counselling and peer support when you want to talk to someone
  • Specialist addiction support for those affected by addiction
  • Financial assistance and specialist advice when you’re facing financial challenges

You can explore these different types of support within our four Supporting You areas of the site.

Here for everyday wellbeing and life’s challenges

You don’t have to wait until things become difficult to engage with Pharmacist Support.

Our information, resources, campaigns and learning can help you make your wellbeing part of everyday life, build confidence and prepare for challenges before they arise. And when you do need more support, we’re here to help you understand your options and find the right next step.

Whether you’re studying for exams, managing workplace pressures, facing financial challenges or looking after your wellbeing, you don’t have to face those challenges alone.

Who we support

As the profession’s independent charity, we’re here for pharmacists and their families, former pharmacists, trainees and pharmacy students across Great Britain.

Our support is independent and confidential, and you don’t need to be a member of any organisation to access it.

Looking back on the last 3 years of my life, it has been tough, but I have come out on the other side of an extremely grave situation with a newfound optimism and sense of self-worth.
