Would you order medicines online?
Flame Health Pharmacy have found the results of a recent survey quite interesting.
Management Consultants, Sempora Consulting have analysed results from 1,007 UK pharmacy users and have found out that 13% used internet pharmacies already. And, while roughly a third of these expressed intentions to use online pharmacies more, 14 per cent of non-users said they would start using them over the coming year.
This has alerted the industry and independent pharmacies are stating that they will find it ‘even more difficult’ to survive as the results show a large potential for online growth.
The most common reason given for shopping online was price, while a quarter said it was convenient and 16% cent believed home delivery was key.
As a Pharmacist, what are your thoughts on this?
