I thought that GPs were not allowed to open a pharmacy. Presume that now anyone can. Certainly in one town Dispensing Drs have applied to open 100 hour pharmacy. However, they are down a side street and little footfall.
Cannot see how they could justify this just as a means of retaining dispensing in town.
Application in name of well known pharmacist who champions dispensing Dr applications.

maybe because of pressures the quality of the MUR's you get from the local pharmacists leave something to be desired.
i personally did two last week that i considered relevent. the first was a patient who because he was feacally incontenent and had a female GP would not share this with her. the second a patient that kept having ideas of self harm because of her quality of life. both not strictly related to their medications but requiring i thought urgent referral. which i did. i hope and am sure the doctors involved actioned my MUR's and did not just file them away. so some MUR's are of value. the week before i did an MUR on a diabetic who had never had his disease explained to him. he was still taking sugar in drinks, eating sweets etc. no one had told him otherwise. i suggested a diet from his GP and or a referral to a dietician. bet his HbAlc would be interesting but according to him his Gp did not do any bloods so we may never know.
