    On World Pharmacists day they are calling for changes to healthcare access

    On World Pharmacists day they are calling for changes to healthcare access


    Pharmacists want to be able to provide a greater range of healthcare.

    People in some DHBs incur costs when accessing medicine like the morning after pill.

    Pharmaceutical society President Rhiannon Braund says there are solutions to healthcare access.

    She says if people were to visit pharmacies when well and leave GPs for when they are unwell it would create savings for patients and the health system.
