Emergency pharmacies regulate services new

Emergency pharmacies

Castrop-Rauxel. From 1 January 2012, regulated the emergency of new
pharmacies. Then it may happen that a Castrop-Rauxel that desperately
needed at night or on a Sunday medication is sent to a pharmacy
outside the city limits.

Because the new system, so clear Ehrensberger Claus, spokesman for the
pharmacists, the emergency plans are no longer organized regionally
and locally restricted thus created. The proven system of emergency
notices in the pharmacies is retained. You can still go to a pharmacy
and there learns that four pharmacies in the vicinity are ready to
serve.

In this future, but outlying areas are included - and so could the
nearest pharmacy in some districts, for example, are more likely to
Dortmund urban area than in the European city. "From Schwerin is
located in the nearest emergency pharmacy about more in Dortmund
Bövinghausen or Kirchlinde" said Claus Ehrensberger. Other ways does
the pharmacist-speakers by the change has not come to the customer -
on the contrary, as he demonstrates on the example Henrichenburg: If a
patient who wants an emergency pharmacy, through the local regulation
before the North of the city sent to Schwerin - approximately eleven
kilometers - he will be headed by the new distribution system in the
nearer neighboring cities or dates of Recklinghausen.

The "typical" emergency service customers is important to first of
all, get his medication in the fastest way, says the pharmacist's
spokesman. On which side of the city limits, he was getting this,
ultimately, secondary. Claus Ehrensberger outlined: "The emergency
services are more younger people our clients need above all, the means
for their sick children."

For the pharmacists of the city Neureglung Europe has the side benefit
that they must in future make fewer emergency services. Acquisitions
Ehrensberger and his colleagues over 20 pharmacies in Castrop-Rauxel
in the year to date average of 15 emergency services per year will
reduce that number by the Neureglung from January 2012.

In general, the distribution of emergency services are equitably
distributed among pharmacies by the dissolution of the old emergency
service districts and the contemplation of the catchment area of ​​the
city's borders. The Pharmacists Association of Westfalen-Lippe, based
in Munster, the centrally organized emergency services in the future
wants, to ensure that pharmacists in the country no longer have to
take emergency services longer than their counterparts in urban areas.

This was confirmed by Sebastian Sokolowski, spokesman for the
Pharmaceutical Chamber Westfalen-Lippe. "For some customers it is
cheaper to travel to the neighboring city to the emergency service
pharmacy, as once across the inner city," says Sokolowski, who points
out that travel the Castrop-Rauxel average of 4.5 miles to the nearest
emergency pharmacy have. It demonstrates what happens through the new
regulations: "The paths of the patients are thus no longer, just
different."
