The Pharmaceutical Journal asked pharmacists on Twitter to get creative and compose a haiku for National Poetry Day on the 4 October using the hashtag #pharmacyhaiku — here are some of our favourites.
1. Think about the patient
Let’s think about care:
A patient at the centre,
“Hello, my name is…”#WorldPoetryDay
