The PDA is affiliated with the STUC and recently PDA National Officer for Scotland, Paul Flynn was able to highlight the recent successes of the PDA in gaining union recognition within Boots and LloydsPharmacy, the two largest employers of community pharmacists. Paul was also able to explore and share some of the work of the four PDA Equality, Diversity, and Inclusion (EDI) Networks and talked about the recent publicity of the #ENDviolenceinpharmacy campaign in national and local media.

STUC General Secretary, Roz Foyer said of the book, “Mon the Worker’s celebrates our past, but it is also a reflection of the sheer diversity, the optimism, and the energy of our contemporary movement.”
Paul Flynn said, “I was honoured to speak to so many of the inspirational contributors featured in the book and delighted to share the successes the PDA has brought the trade union movement. Pharmacists already do so much to support the needs of the communities we care for, and I relish the opportunity I have in engaging my fellow professionals in supporting the wider trade union movement’s goals of caring for our society with the STUC.”
