The launch marks the first time that Ridley’s will offer an on-demand service for pharmaceutical delivery, Nimble Rx reported. Home delivery costs $4.50 or more, depending on selected shipping method, which includes same-day, next day or two-day service. Through the service, customers will be able to order, pay for and schedule delivery of prescriptions directly through Nimble’s website or mobile app.

We need to have a commitment to fully enable pharmacists to be equal partners in the delivery of primary care, and to ensure there is compensation that supports them.Ridley’s Family Markets this month plans to launch on-demand prescription drug delivery for customers in Utah and Idaho. As efforts are being made to address HHR in the health-care sector and as conversations begin about what a national pharmacare program will look like, it is well past time to put pharmacists at the decision-making table. I believe now is the time to tackle this issue. We need a national scope of practice that applies in each province, practice guidelines, and a remuneration model that reflects the expertise being provided and the value pharmacists provide to patients. Provinces have dabbled in bits and pieces of new authorities for pharmacists but this has resulted in a patchwork of services without standard compensation for clinical services delivered in community pharmacy. I have often said that I believe community pharmacists are the most under-utilized member of the health-care team.

There is no doubt this focus is critical, but I proposed that in the context of looking at stabilizing our health professional workforce, we need to ensure all professionals are working to their maximum scope.

The Committee is currently examining issues related to health human resources (HHR) in our health-care system. I had the privilege to address the House of Commons Standing Committee on Health on Mar.
It is clear how much more is required to ensure our health care system is ready to weather the next storm. While pharmacists and all other health-care professionals have made it work and looked after their patients, it has come at a cost. From drug shortages, to changing needs and criteria for vaccines, the sector has made it happen regardless of the challenge.Īs is the case in all other segments of the health-care system, the last two years have also opened some cracks in community pharmacy, showing the impact of the last decade of cost pressures on the sector. Outside of the acute care system, I would argue that community pharmacy as a profession has been the most responsive and adaptive among British Columbia’s health-care professionals. For me, the biggest takeaway of the last two years is how nimble pharmacy has been.
Not in our wildest dreams did any of us expect that we would have marked the two-year anniversary of the COVID-19 worldwide pandemic with no clear path forward.Ĭommunity pharmacy has continued to set and reset to meet the changing landscape and now is getting ready for what comes next.
