Pharmacists Work-to-Rule Action: Impact on Service Hours and Care Quality
Pharmacists Ballot on Work-to-Rule Actions
Pharmacists across the country face potential work-to-rule actions as funding cuts threaten their ability to provide essential services. The ballot could result in pharmacies opening for fewer hours and offering a limited range of services, which could significantly affect patient care.
Impact of Funding Challenges
- Shorter Opening Hours: Patients may find it harder to access medications when pharmacies limit their hours of operation.
- Reduced Services: Many pharmacies might not be able to offer crucial health services.
- Safety Concerns: The declining funds put the safety and quality of patient care at risk.
Industry leaders are concerned that these changes could undermine the quality of care patients receive in pharmacies.
