Pharmacy

We interviewed the pharmacist at the Elanora Heights shops and this is what we learned. The pharmacist does not import goods from overseas. They have a wide range of medicines for prescriptions and nutrition products, homeopathy and vitamins for health care.

The rules they have to abide by are:

• the special poison regulations

• some medications can only be handed out by the pharmacist

• many medications are on prescription only

• and some have special warnings for labels.

The pharmacist works for ten hours per day. The shop opens at 9 a.m and closes at 6 p.m.

To become a pharmacist, she had to study for three years then do post graduate studies.

The pharmacist does not work shifts. There are five employees.
