THE Pharmacy Guild's Community Pharmacy 2025 project is now moving into its second and final phase, which will focus on the development of practical action plans to enable pharmacies and the broader sector to realise the benefit of potential growth paths.
Yesterday Guild executive director David Quilty detailed several findings from the last six months of CP2025 analysis, market research and stakeholder engagement by strategic adviser Pottinger and market research group Orima.
Three scenarios were considered - 'do nothing', 'worst case' and a 'preferred realistic scenario'.
Implementing the preferred strategy will require a "proactive approach to changes in the industry," Quilty said.
Change must be embraced on a whole-of-pharmacy basis, he added, "recognising that medications advice, management and safety is the strategic destination for pharmacy going forward and lies at the core of multiple growth pathways".
