Your thoughts please....
good idea or bad idea ?
Although I think its a good idea, I am not too happy with the length of time a pharmacist can be absent from his/her base....50% is way too much this should be reduced to 20-25%, otherwise patient safety will definitely be compromised
In the last couple of years so many POMs have been derrugulated and are now available over the counter, therefore there are higher risks... I guess a responsible pharmacist would need to have a water-tight insurance package , because claims would definitely soar
Imagine a patient on methotrexate buying ibuprofen OTC or a patient on ACE inhibitors and the like buying cystemme etc..the list is endless....
I feel 20-25% would be a more reasonable time to be absent from a dispensary
