Default ETP and Assura

Read through submission for Assura to open pharmacy and subsequent rejection. Set me thinking, that as this area is pilot for ETP, Assura may be trying to get a tie up with local surgeries----most of which are dispensing.

Scripts are not supposed to be directed to any particular pharmacy but has anyone experience of an assura operation in practice.

EPSR2 Nomination is going to change the playing field somewhat.

Yes, just a couple of days as locum - was very impressed. AFAIK they tend to have pharmacies attached to sugeries - and to foster the relationship between surgery and pharmacy.

Assura have put in a 100hr application on my patch to be next door to a surgery. There are 3 pharmacies within 500m and this is not in an ETP trial area. Their website will tell you more about them.

Their contract applications (search google) might give you an idea of the approach they have taken in the past.
