PCTs need clear point of contact at multiples

摘要

Primary care trusts need a clear point of contact at multiple pharmacies,Digby Emson,chairman of the Company Chemists' Association,said at the Primary Care conference in Birmingham last week.It is incumbent on multiples to make it as easy as possible for PCTs to engage with them,he argued,but PCTs also need to recognise that each multiple is different,and so be flexible and fair in their approach."PCTs need to ensure that their commissioning arrangements are transparent and that they create a level playing field.This is crucial to every pharmacy contractor - both big and small," he said.
