our strategy, we have decided to extend the beta period to the end of December 2008. This will give us the opportunity to deliver a number of our key targets.
This changes nothing. You may continue to use the contents of the site in the usual way.
Thanks very much
…and P.S. we are still very excited about what we aim to deliver!
INTERIM MANAGEMENT TEAM
MUROnline is owned by Pharmangelist Limited. At Pharmangelist Limited we fundamentally agree and believe that input by pharmacists is valuable in enhancing patient care. We are determined to share our vision and inspire our colleagues to achieve their full potentials.
The publication of the pharmacy white paper in England represents ‘one of the most significant opportunities ever for pharmacy to step into its rightful place as a clinical profession’(1,2). Paul Bennett, the chairman of the English Pharmacy Board writes ‘If we dither and get it wrong, we will only have ourselves to blame’(2).
The presentation to the Southampton Branch of the Royal Pharmaceutical Society by Kazeem Olalekan on the 28th of February 2008 entitled the MUR Evangelist - a unique presentation by pharmacists for pharmacists was well received. Thanks to all for your constructive feedback.
In April 2007(1), the P3 Magazine published a survey conducted by TNS Healthcare of 100 pharmacies entitled ‘Why are some pharmacies not doing MURs?’. One of the key findings is that large pharmacies chains are more likely to conduct MURs because they promote the services effectively on their websites and in-store. The article suggested that this is the area where independent pharmacies may want to close the gap.
We hope that the BETA and subsequent launch of the full version of MUROnline and the accompanying promotion, will go a long way in making people aware of this innovative new service, which is now being provided routinely by their local community pharmacy.
The Pharmaceutical Services Negotiating Committee (PSNC) has produced a series of promotion materials to support the promotion of service across LPCs. Click here to download the materials.
