New pharmacy roles may become available in Worcestershire
Wednesday 7th October 2009
New pharmacy jobs may become available in Worcestershire if plans for the creation of a medical centre get the green light.
Under the terms of the proposals, two existing GP surgeries would combine, setting up a new premises complete with a pharmacy attached, the Worcester Standard reports.
A planning application has been submitted to the local council.
In addition, a business case has been put forward to NHS Worcestershire, which runs a number of medical centres, including Kidderminster Hospital, Worcestershire Royal Hospital and the Princess of Wales Community Hospital.
Dr Charlie Harris, a GP from one of the surgeries involved, said the process of finding a suitable location has taken over three years.
Meanwhile, fellow medical professional Dr Kelvin Laidlaw added: "We hope that if we secure funding for this new medical centre it will enable us to offer our patients a greater range of up to date medical services."
