Guild Update – 16 Aug 16 : Pharmacies and pharmacy staff – take a bow
August 16, 2016
It is great to see fresh
confirmation that Australian
consumers overwhelmingly trust
their community pharmacists
and choose to buy their
medicines from a pharmacy
rather than from a supermarket.
Recent research by customer
satisfaction and ratings agency
Canstar Blue, found 94 per cent
of shoppers trusted the advice of
their pharmacists and 83 per cent
preferred to buy their medicines
from a pharmacy rather than
from a supermarket.
“Pharmacies set themselves
apart from other retailers by
their reputation for knowledge
and service,” Canstar Blue’s
report said.
This latest research reinforces
previous studies that consistently
ranked pharmacists among
the most trusted health
professionals.
Community pharmacists are
the go-to health professionals for
consumers seeking health advice
and a wide range of health
services. Their accessibility
means people can walk in off the
street and be able to consult with
a highly trained and dedicated
health professional they
trust and in whom they have
confidence.The above article was sent to subscribers in Pharmacy Daily's issue from 16 Aug 16 To see the full newsletter, see the embedded issue below or CLICK HERE to download Pharmacy Daily from 16 Aug 16
