Pharmacy closures will leave us with ‘depersonalised, dehumanised’ services
Pharmacy closures will leave us with ‘depersonalised, dehumanised’ services
Professor David Taylor from University College London’s school of pharmacy last night warned the NHS may end up providing a “depersonalised, dehumanised service”. For patients in the long-term because more community pharmacies struggling with funding cuts. As well as inflationary pressures they could be forced to close.
Professor Taylor (pictured), who recently co-produced a report. With the health economist Panos Kavanos claiming thousands of pharmacies could shut because of high inflation. Along with the effects of multi-year frozen funding, told the National Pharmacy Association's virtual conference that around one in 20 pharmacies had closed in England over the last two years and that was set to increase.
He said if pharmacies continued to go out of business, the public would struggle to get their medicines. Their access to clinical services will be “blocked” and personalised care will be jeopardised.
“Obviously, if you’ve got a few thousand unwanted closures, the integrity of the community network could be undermined so that people may experience disruptions with their medicines supply,” professor Taylor said.
