Neighbourhood Pharmacies Proposes Recommendations to Prevent, Mitigate and Manage Drug Shortages

On August 30, Neighbourhood Pharmacies provided a wide-ranging series of recommendations to the Federal Government to better equip the front line community pharmacy sector to fully play its part in collective drug shortage solutions, and foster system-focused changes to better prevent, detect, and plan mitigation strategies. Our recommendations stem from the unique perspective of the pharmacy sector and reflect our members’ pivotal role in the medication access pathway.
