Pharmacy jobs may be created in Croydon
Monday 2nd February 2009
A new expansion planned for a surgery in Purley could lead to new pharmacy jobs in the region.
This Is Croydon Today reported that an application for planning permission submitted by Woodcote Group Practice to Croydon council includes a £250,000 plan to build two consulting rooms and a new pharmacy.
In total, the number of patients seen at the surgery could increase by ten per cent as a result of the expansion, which could be completed by the end of the year.
According to Nan Nobes, practice manager at the Foxley Lane facility, the new pharmacy will make it easier for patients in Purley Cross to pick up their prescriptions.
Currently, around 600 patients a week have appointments at the facility.
Last month, the Bradford and Airedale NHS Trust suggested that pharmacists can also provide advice on dental health.
In a statement, the group added that pharmacy staff can offer guidance on sugar-free options on over-the-counter and prescription medications.
