There has been significant debate in pharmacy media from all sides - both political and at the practice level. But as yet, limited macro feedback has been returned dictating how practitioners are finding pharmacy under the new agreement.
To ascertain the opinion of pharmacists, Medici Capital is running a survey on their website. The survey presents the following question:
So far, the impact of the 5th Community Pharmacy Agreement on my pharmacy (including related changes) has been:
- Good
- No impact on my pharmacy
- Bad
- Don't know
To participate in the survey, visit Medici Capital's website at www.medici.com.au and complete the survey (located on the right hand side of the screen).
The last Medici Capital Survey was: "Good and competent employee pharmacists are easy to find ...":
- Disgaree 47.9%;
- No change 17.8%; and
- Agree 34.2%
In light of recent media focus, on employment in pharmacy, the following figures seem to indicate that practitioners are having difficulty in finding good and competent employee pharmacists. Have your say at Ask An Expert: Ask An Expert.
