Pharmacy context
SettingLocated on a busy main road on the outskirts of Paisley town centre, the pharmacy provided a range of services to a mixed population. There were a significant number of elderly residents and a local demand for MDS and Care Home dispensing services. The pharmacy did not provide supervised consumption services.
Although repeat prescriptions were collected from all of the 13 GP practices across the Paisley area, a high proportion of prescriptions were received on a ‘walk-in’ basis.
The opening hours were Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday 9.00am to 5.30pm, Friday 9.00am to 6.00pm and Saturday 9.00am to 5.00pm. Activity8000 items per month 130 MDS patients
