ACT Chemist Warehouse defence
October 23, 2015
A number of Pharmacy Daily
readers have responded to the
story earlier this week (PD 21
Oct) about the ACT pharmacist
sanctioned over a dispensing error
in 2012 while working at the Philip
Chemist Warehouse store.
Respondents included Nasis Ellis,
now a senior pharmacist at the
Therapeutic Goods Administration
Medicines Authorisation Branch,
who submitted a letter to the editor
on the issue, part of which follows:
I was fortunate enough to be
able to undertake a portion of my
internship at that particular store
and cannot speak highly enough
about the procedures they have
in place and the comprehensive
training program and support by
the owners and Managers there.
Despite being a very busy discount
pharmacy I saw no evidence
of inferior standards in terms
of patient care and Pharmacy
standards.
Quite the contrary, I believe
that because of the discounter
or cheaper perception by the
community The Chemist Warehouse
have to try harder to almost have
to prove that their levels of service,
quality and patient care are second
to none or better.
It would great to see a positive
article to reflect what an
outstanding group they are and
the years of dedicated service they
have provided to the Canberra
community.
