US PHARMACY chain CVS will close all its stores for 30 minutes each day to ensure its pharmacists get "pre-scheduled, uninterupted" lunch breaks, under a new policy being rollout across the company.
From 28 Feb the group's pharmacies will shut their doors between 1.30 and 2pm local time every day to allow staff to have a break, a CVS spokesperson said.
"We want to make sure our pharmacists and pharmacy technicians are at their best, which means supporting their schedules accordingly," the spokesperson said.
"This break gives our pharmacy teams a predictable and consistent daily pause while minimising disruption to our patients."
