In the latest AJP podcast, PSA national president, Dr Fei Sim, talks to Carlene McMaugh about how she perceives the immediate future direction for community pharmacy. 

With the community pharmacy sector having spent four months in the “60 day dispensing policy vortex”, Dr Sim talks about why we now should “take a step back” to consider the ramifications of the policy, and what it means for the future direction of pharmacy.

She says there is already an “inevitable” shift in the focus of community pharmacy from dispensing toward cognitive professional services, and this needs to be supported by “meaningful reimbursement” to ensure its viability.
