Pressures facing pharmacists in 2025

From rising stress to expanding clinical roles, pharmacists are facing mounting pressures. Chronic understaffing combined with increased demand and limited resources are compromising patient safety and leaving many pharmacists working alone or rushed. Emotional strain is also growing, with reports of increased abuse and burnout. Despite these challenges, pharmacists remain deeply committed to patient care — but without meaningful support, the cracks in the system are becoming harder to ignore. In this PJ Pod 'Spotlight' episode, interim executive editor Carlotta Eden and senior features editor Siobhan Chan unpack the results of The Pharmaceutical Journal’s latest salary and job satisfaction survey.
