Sussex Partnership NHS Foundation Trust is running the roadshow as part of World Pharmacy Week, which runs from September 19 to 25, with World Pharmacists Day on September 25.

The trust employs 76 pharmacy staff who support patients with mental health, learning disability and neurodiversity needs across inpatient, community and urgent care services.

Isaac Otomewo, lead pharmacist for physical health at Sussex Partnership, said: “Behind every prescription is a team of pharmacy professionals working to improve patient safety, optimise treatment and tackle health inequalities.

“I am proud to be part of a profession that combines clinical expertise, innovation and collaboration to improve the lives of the people we serve.”

The roadshow will visit four of the trust’s hospitals: Langley Green in Crawley, the Department of Psychiatry in Eastbourne, Meadowfield in Worthing and Mill View in Hove.

It will offer staff, service users and families the chance to meet pharmacy professionals, learn more about their work and share feedback.

The team will also be sharing stories on social media about their role to encourage others to consider a career in pharmaceuticals.
