The Community Pharmacy Agreement is a critical part of Australia’s health care system that has worked to balance the growing number of medicines listed on the PBS with the funding needed to ensure their safe and secure delivery to pharmacies anywhere in Australia. We prepared a number of videos which illustrate the medicines supply chain:
- NPSA explains how the Community Pharmacy Agreement works – and what needs to change to keep the whole system healthy.
2. This video explains that the pharmacy supply chain is much more than simply moving products from point A to B. This video explores how the CSO wholesalers work to provide pharmacy with multiple building blocks – from financial and marketing support through to risk management – as well as the significant investment in capital costs and technology.
