Horrific. Every single day chasing items and prescriptions. Nightmare scenario. Added to this the AFG raises in secondary care I do see a large shortage in community pharmacists soon. Pay rises have been horrendous for years. Quota systems on the most bizarre items and where’s all the Caresence N testing strips gone?
