Pharmacy services is JUST NOT PROFITABLE per NHS
Pharmacy services is JUST NOT PROFITABLE per NHS Pharmacy services ‘just not profitable’, NHS conference hears
Providing services is “just not profitable” for pharmacies, Mr Burnell said at the NHS Confederation conference in Manchester last week (June 19). He claimed that “some of the bigger multiples” in his area had stopped offering some enhanced services, causing workload to filter onto other healthcare providers.
While community pharmacies know the value of providing healthcare services, ongoing “austerity measures” mean they are “under so much pressure to just make ends meet” that they could be forced to say: “I understand the value of this, but I can’t do it.”
“I think we’re in danger of losing some of that [pharmacy] network,” he added.
