Pharmacy of Tomorrow: Transparent, united, risk-aware
Speakers at the eighth annual Pharmacy Business Conference charted the ‘pharmacy of tomorrow’ vision, welcoming the ‘golden era of pharmacy’
Integrating pharmacies more deeply into primary care networks and enhancing their capability to offer clinical services through Pharmacy First “is strategically significant not just for its funding, but because it signals a change in how pharmacies are perceived within the healthcare system,” the CEO of Community Pharmacy England, Janet Morrison, has said.
At the recent Pharmacy Business Conference chaired by pharmacist and owner of S.G Barai Pharmacy, Reena Barai, industry leaders gathered to discuss ways to adopt the evolving landscape of pharmacy practice and chart a course for the future by adapting potential solutions to further expand community pharmacy services.
In her speech highlighting community pharmacy creating its own future, Barai explained that to bring ‘balance of tomorrow’, it is crucial to address the role of a pharmacists as a business owner since administrative tasks, overhead expenses, and commissioner expectations have all significantly increased the pressure on pharmacy delivering.
She emphasised the need to” Change the dial, change the rhetoric, and think forward to create a promising future for our businesses and our communities.”
