Pharmacists visit 10 Downing Street

Two pharmaceutical advisers joined around 200 other health care professionals at a reception hosted by the Prime Minister (Tony Blair) at 10 Downing Street earlier this month.

Alex Whittaker, of North East Lincolnshire Primary Care Trust, and Mike Rhymer, of Eastern Hull PCT, were among representatives of around 50 different health professions at the reception. "Mr Blair praised the growing contribution of allied health professionals to the National Health Service," Mrs Whittaker told The Journal. "He wanted people to know that it is 'not all doctors and nurses' in the NHS."
