The two need separating with the business side taking care of drug purchasing etc and a pharmacist engaged on a contract for services to practice pharmacy as it should be practised. Until we do this doctors, the government and the general public will continue to see us as glorified shopkeepers. What about pharmacists agreeing contracts with the local PCT targeting local health issues and the pharmacy contractors bidding for pharmacists to work in their pharmacies...it's a thought!

I can see it now, a very busy day, and I am called out to fix a nebuliser. Wait...that wasn't on the curriculum at university!! (just as well I'm good at DIY). I don't think I would mind so much if I was given the kind of monetary "motivation" given to GP's!! The average pharmacist barely gets half the wage of a starting GP, yet we are in the same tax bracket!! I can't see my boss jumping for joy at the prospect of the "2 hour break". It'll be taken off my wages!! In this climate, the buisnessman screams for profit...any way he can. This "scheme" should be introduced whenever the essential training HAS BEEN PROVIDED, like in 1-2 years time. So much for a "caring" society...just another Ostrich situation.
