THE holiday season sees many people spending time away from their homes and in unfamiliar destinations where they do not know the location of essential health services like pharmacies.
Unfortunately the need to take medications during these times does not take a holiday so it is vital that consumers have ready access to a tool that helps them pinpoint a pharmacy and also locate a pharmacy that can provide the particular services they may be seeking.
The Pharmacy Guild of Australia's Find a Pharmacy website (http://www.findapharmacy.com.au/) has been designed specifically to help consumers find a pharmacy by location, service, operating hours and even languages spoken.
After logging into the website, consumers can choose to search for a pharmacy within a 5, 10 or 15-kilometre radius of the address they input. They can then select to sort by the services provided by the pharmacy, the hours it is open or the languages spoken at the pharmacy.
