Does anyone know the user numbers of the chemist warehouse app?
I was also wondering peoples thoughts on Amazon? For Amazon to enter the pharmaceutical business, government regulation would have to be changed allowing for a delivery service. This has many complications for e.g if the buyer of prescription medication is not home the meds can't just be left at the property. I imagine the delivery staff would also need to have some sort of background check and requirements to transport pharmaceuticals.
If this was to take place Medadvisor could offer their service linking users prescription to purchase medication through Amazon. Amazon would not only have to do deal with a pharmaceutical wholesaler or acquisition to supply the medication but compete with the PBS discounts and have a platform were digital prescriptions could be directly sent to Amazon before providing delivery of the medication.
Looking forward to the quarterly in the next 2 weeks and full year report a month or so after that as per previous releases.
Also quite a few announcements across the board anytime.
On a lighter note I came across this article regarding the service provided at Chemist Warehouse.
A woman abused staff at a Chemist Warehouse and dumped a bag of human faeces on the pharmacy’s counter
The
Courier-Mail and
Daily Mail report that a woman has faced court on a guilty plea of public nuisance and assault occasioning bodily harm after the March incident at the pharmacy.
The court heard that the 29-year-old nursing student and mother of two had gone to the Chemist Warehouse at Redland City and asked the staff there if her four-year-old could use the pharmacy’s bathroom.
The staff, however, said that there were no public facilities at the pharmacy and directed her to a Hungry Jacks restaurant across the road.
“Guess you’ll just have to sheet yourself then,” the woman told her child, and left the pharmacy.
But she returned that evening with a plastic bag of faeces which she then put on the counter.
“Here is your bag of sheet,” staff said she told them.
A security guard intervened and asked her to take the faeces with her when she left, but she smacked him with her open hand instead.
The woman’s defence counsel, Patrick Cullinane, told the court that the behaviour was out of character and was as a result of “overwhelming stressors” she was experiencing.
Magistrate Mark Nolan, however, said that “having your child’s faeces in a bag and placing it on the counter of the pharmacy … it’s an awful thing to do”.
“Regardless of how frustrated you may have been… the staff there don’t deserve to be treated that way.”
The woman interrupted and told the magistrate that the Chemist Warehouse staff had been rude to her, but she was asked to stop speaking.
She was not given a conviction, but was fined $1500.
