Convenience and Accessibility in Pharmacy Services In today’s fast-paced world, the convenience and accessibility of pharmacy services can make a significant difference in our healthcare experience. The Problem: Many of us struggle to find pharmacies that fit seamlessly into our busy schedules. Whether it’s the proximity to our homes or workplaces, availability of home delivery, or extended hours of operation, these factors can greatly impact our ability to access medications efficiently. The Solution: Our research highlights that pharmacies offering flexible services—such as home delivery, mail-order prescriptions, and 24/7 availability—are transforming the patient experience. According to a recent study by the American Journal of Health-System Pharmacy, patients who used pharmacies with extended hours and delivery options reported a 25% higher satisfaction rate and better medication adherence. Why It Matters: Convenience and accessibility are not just about ease; they are about ensuring consistent and timely access to medications, which is crucial for maintaining our health and well-being. By choosing a pharmacy that understands and caters to these needs, we empower ourselves to stay on top of our health. Remember, taking charge of your health begins with making informed choices. Choose a pharmacy that prioritizes your convenience and accessibility needs. Why waste your time have to deal with filling your prescriptions and picking refills? Your time and health is your greatest wealth, and with the right pharmacy service, you can access both more efficiently and consistently. #TorontoOnlinePharmacy #Healthcare #PharmacyServices #Convenience #Accessibility #HealthMatters #Misterpharmacist

Sreekanth Chaguturu, CVS Health’s Chief Medical Officer, talked with Anjalee Khemlani from Yahoo Finance during #HLTHUSA session, “Primary Care is Sick: The Need for Integrated Solutions.” Dr. Chaguturu wisely articulated that, “Traditionally, pharmacies and primary care have operated in silos, limiting opportunities for seamless patient care. By integrating CVS retail pharmacies with Oak Street Health clinics in a shared space, we’re breaking down these barriers. This approach allows us to deliver more coordinated care, improving medication adherence and overall health outcomes for consumers.” #PrimaryCare #MedicationAdherence #Pharmacy #PatientCare

It's reassuring that representatives from both the Department of Health and NHS England were open to receiving feedback on their original #HubAndSpoke impact assessment. For too long there has been the perception that the only option for #IndependentPharmacies when it comes to #HubAndSpoke is to outsource their dispensing to a third party. This simply isn’t the case! It's really important that the sector as a whole educates itself on the different models of hub and spoke that now exist for both #OriginalPack and #MDS. With the technology that is now available, this legislation will empower independent pharmacies to centralise dispensing at one location in a range of different ways. It will also allow #pharmacy owners with #pharmacies in separate legal entities to centralise their dispensing process when previously their hands have been tied. At Centred Solutions we have been working with a number of independent and multiple pharmacies who have set up a range of variations of hub and spoke to automate their repeat original pack dispensing process. This includes groups of 200+ pharmacies to single standalone stores and everything in between. It's great to see that the official consultation response from the Department of Health acknowledged the evidence we provided around emerging models of hub and spoke and accessibility.
