Pharmacists might seem busy enough doling out medications and getting to grips with the latest new treatments.

But they are now being expected to complete training in climate change and carbon literacy.

It comes as a body representing pharmacists say they already have too little time to complete existing training requirements.

Training on the extra, woke topics have been introduced in Wales, as part of a 'quality and safety scheme' in line with the Welsh government's Net Zero Wales ambitions.

And chemists are expected to ensure the training is carried out by the end of next month to meet a target set by the Cardiff administration.

Community Pharmacy Wales has issued guidance to pharmacists, urging them to 'provide an overview of climate change and sustainability in Wales/the UK and the world'.

They must also 'evaluate the impact of climate change on health' and 'explore good practice in sustainability as a global citizen'.
