New DDS training portal
June 3, 2013
DISCOUNT Drug Stores has
launched a specially designed
online training portal for its
employees and pharmacists, with
the aim of strengthening its current
in-house training systems and
further boosting efficiencies.
As well as providing a means
of updating pharmacy staff on
new products and services, the
portal incorporates continuing
professional development for DDS
pharmacists across the country.
GM Douglas Kuskopf-Dallas
said the company is “looking to
position itself as Australia’s leading
pharmacy brand for delivering
quality customer service.
“Discount Drug Stores has
achieved significant and rapid
growth over the past six years
due to our systems and internal
strategies that focus on providing
customers with comprehensive,
high quality healthcare services.
“In 2013 we want to strengthen
this point of difference and we
believe that to do this we needed
a new internal system that would
give our in store personnel access
to the very latest training and
resources,” he said.
Discount Drug Stores now has 110
stores nationally, seven years after
launching its franchise offer.
Kuskopf-Dallas said that “by
bringing all training in-house it will
be easier for our pharmacists to
not only complete their required
training, but to access education
resources and information that
they would not have otherwise
come across.
“It will ensure our pharmacists are
among the best in the industry and
will give us an added edge over our
competition,” he added.
