Gold Cross endorses robot
September 21, 2015
The Pharmacy Guild’s Gold Cross
Products & Services has formally
endorsed Queensland-based
Dose Innovations and its Rowa
Automated Dispensary system.
Gold Cross gm Trevor Clarkin
said the endorsement came after
a significant amount of time spent
“researching, evaluating and
investigating the background of
this technology, as well as Dose
Innovations as the distributor
across Australia and New Zealand”.
Guild national president George
Tambassis said “forward dispensing
can bring significant benefits to our
member pharmacies.
“In today’s tough market, we
need to take advantage of all the
opportunities that technology can
provide to improve healthcare
outcomes for patients, as well as
conditions for our people.
“We recognise the difference
a Rowa system can make for
community pharmacies,” he said.
It’s not the first time the Guild
has endorsed a robotic dispensing
system, with Gold Cross previously
supporting pharmacy automation
specialist Gollmann Bouw (PD 04
Jun 2009) prior to the company’s
collapse about twelve months later
which saw Gold Cross Services an
unsecured creditor to the tune of
$169,000 (PD 02 Sep 2010).
