THE regional Queensland town of Crows Nest is facing the possibility of losing its only pharmacy due to a shortage of pharmacists, The Courier Mail reports.
Crows Nest Pharmacy owner, Satnam Singh, told the publication that his efforts to recruit a pharmacist to work at the store, which is less than a three-hour drive from Brisbane, and 30 minutes from Toowoomba, have been fruitless, despite offering free accommodation.
"I hope we find someone," Singh said.
"I'm not anticipating being in the position where we can't find a replacement, but the pharmacy would have to temporarily close if that were the case," he said.
