MUR targets

[Jeff]

Brilliant letter from William John Samson here

Medicines use reviews | PJ Online

It begins
"Section 2.2 of the Code of Ethics: “Make sure that your professional judgement is not impaired by personal or commercial interests, incentives, targets or similar measures.”

and ends with a challenge (OK proposal) to the RPSGB

"I propose that the Royal Pharmaceutical Society should act by prohibiting all pharmacy owners from issuing verbal or written targets to their pharmacists with regard to MUR numbers."

Time to see who the RPSGB represents.

I suspect the silence will be deafening.

Amen to that.

the letter also states at the end:

"As for us pharmacists, we need to take a stand and not allow our professional integrity and independence to be compromised by coercion and greed."

[Pharmanaut]

the letter also states at the end:

"As for us pharmacists, we need to take a stand and not allow our professional integrity and independence to be compromised by coercion and greed."

That would put us on the same footing as the medical profession then.
