Back To The Future
February 24, 2014
THERE isn’t much that we can’t
imagine.
So, imagine if you will that
you could materially improve
the health and wellbeing of our
society.
That would be pretty cool,
wouldn’t it? Actually, no, it would
be extraordinary. It would be
game-changing, it’d be life-changing,
it would BE the new
paradigm.
Now, imagine again that
Pharmacy was the facilitator of
that change, the driver of that
improvement.
That wouldn’t just be exciting,
that would be (apologies to
Michael J Fox) a case of going
back to the future. Seeing
Pharmacy, once again, as the
harbinger of health; as the
bastions of wellbeing.
Today Pharmacy doesn’t
quite mean what it did just 10
or 20 years ago. Don’t get me
wrong, I’m not maligning it, I’m
simply making the point that the
landscape today for Pharmacy is
different to what it was in years
past.
But, interestingly though, the
possibility of realising this is much
closer than you might think.
I’m adamant in the view that the
community regards Pharmacy
as the centre-point of health and
wellbeing, and equally adamant
that consumers trust Pharmacy
like no other health care
professional.
And there we have a starting
point like no other.
In fact, the future may be closer
than you could imagine.
