Generally speaking, I support this order, because patients will no longer have to wait for a pharmacist to be present to receive prescribed medicines that have already been checked and bagged and are ready to go. Pharmacists will be freed up to focus on delivering more patient-facing care, including NHS services, which patients and the NHS want. Pharmacists will be able to use their hard-earned clinical skills as experts in medication but also in vital preventive and urgent care services, such as Pharmacy First, blood pressure checks and the upcoming emergency contraception service.
