pharmacists want to be doctors
Pharm techs want to be pharmacists
Pharmacy dispensers want to technicians
Pharmacy assistants want to be dispensers
Why do people always think they are better than what they actually are?t...I believe people should strive to be better ...but why do some pharmacists think they are too clever or over qualified to work in pharmacy....why didn't such people just get 3 straight As and study medicine (by the way I got 1A an 2 Bs and I have never wanted to be a doctor, so I didn't aspire for 3 As)
IMHO these people are destroying pharmacy ,because they think they are too "posh" (posh being used loosely) for the job at hand and that trickles down the pharmacy pecking order
Its a crying shame....hundreds of clinically inappropriate medicines are dispensed every day in the UK; elderly patients are admitted into hospital due to adverse drug rxns etc,OTC drugs are eing prescribed/sold inappropriately yet some p'cists moan that we are overqualified for comm.pharmacy....are we? I certainly don't think so
Some p'cists can't even be bothered with minor ailments smoking cessation or EHC supply,they'd rather delegate to a tech, whislt some techs hate dispensing they would rather label or check and get the dispenser to dispense.....and the list goes on...why can't we all be proud of what we do and do it to the very best of our ability
I think community pharmacy has been abused by the big corporates and the PharmSoc and most comm p'cists have becone disillusioned and maybe iP'cy will continue to die a slow death, but only time will tell, but on the other hand maybe we can all give it the kiss of life , raise our profile and continue to do the best we can ....
Some of our colleagues Pharmacists / ACTs are happy to dispense Movicol 3sachets BD for over 2 years, or tri-adcortyl ear drops for over 12 months the list is endless ...
Pharmacists who want to be doctors should do a fast track MBBS
Techs who want to be pharmacists should do a fast track MPharm etc
Pharmacy practice has to change for it to be taken seriously,,,,,rant over!
