Guild services survey
April 10, 2014
The Pharmacy Guild of Australia
is seeking input from pharmacies
around Australia to identify services
that they provide.
Executive director David Quilty
said in his Forefront editorial that,
as part of the next stage of the
‘Pharmacy Under Threat’ campaign,
the Guild wanted to understand
the behind the scenes work that
pharmacists provided, which he
said could often go unnoticed by
political decision makers.
The survey results would be used
to feed ongoing political advocacy
work, Quilty said, particularly
between now and when the
Federal Budget is released in May.
The survey looked to gather
evidence about what services
pharmacies might cut back on or
start charging more for, as a result
of the impact of the changes of
price disclosure, he said.
The campaign also involved a
petition of 1.2m signatures, calling
on the House of Representatives
to ensure community pharmacists
received support to stay in
business.
