Growing concern over potential threat of online repeats
|
Or put another way, growing realisation of the threat. Something we have been warning of for years. We posted this in the comments section of C & D's article http://www.chemistanddruggist.co.uk/news-content/-/article_display_list/18342213/concern-raised-over-potential-gp-stake-in-online-repeats-service?cid=ENL-CDNEW-DAILYB We believe the pharmacy sector will undergo rapid and significant change as it becomes digitised. Although really we could (possibly should) be more direct and candid: - Not just the PSNC who were "asleep" on this as the other poster commented but many in leadership of independent pharmacy have been burying their heads in the sand or just simply haven't lived through an industry digitising and have not understood the implications. Have to be careful what i say here as P2U are well know for being itchy trigger fingered with heavyweight lawyers but they have form on promoting themselves to GPs (seem to remember it was suggested they allegedly tried to promote a "send prescription to p2u" button in EMIS software a few years ago.) As the other poster says they are part owned by EMIS who also own RX. We have been warning of the inherent dangers of that setup for years now. This current idea of theirs is not new.
