surely bridges are better approached from both ends
fairs fair; i am in a non-dispensing practice and i worry, a bit, about
the vested interests held by dispensing GPs when their prescribing is
inextricably linked with profits. when the PCAPs were getting off the
ground i was very interested in the idea of forming a partnership
(details vague) with a pharmacist (an individual, currently self
employed) and to start dispensing: the idea being to dispense according
to guidelines agreed with the health authority, AND for the dispensing
to be on a non-profit basis, ie to cover costs only. to do this of
course would require an act of parliament, and an act of audacious
de-regulation, however IMHO this would be to the net (pun not intended)
benefit of the NHS. Is anybody interested in campaigning for this?
