How Medacy Can Help – 4

At Medacy, like all work places we are beginning to settle into the new normal. “Social distancing” was rude two months ago and “Self isolating” a cause for concern. If a customer in a queue left a two metre gap to you you’d be checking to make sure you used your deodorant that morning. Now it’s part of everyday life. Another new normal is pharmacist led support for GP practices.

However, we are probably in the very early stages of a Pandemic that will change are family, social and working lives forever.

Impact on GP practices

GP practices have been at the forefront of these changes with many operating is a vastly different way than the way they were in January. The majority of consultations are virtual, either over the phone or via video call. The day job is being done but all practices are pushing work down the road, delaying blood tests for three months for instance, “Until things settle down.” The question is will they settle down though?

News broadcasts have started to talk about Social Distancing measures being in place until the end of the year and academics and medics admitting that things won’t change until an effective vaccine is developed, manufactured at scale and administered to the majority of the population. So not soon then.
