A pharmacy designed to incorporate the latest thinking in delivery of
health services has opened next door to a medical centre, which itself
rents space from the pharmacy’s owner.
Hassan Argomandkhah’s Numark pharmacy was officially opened by
Eddie O’Hara, MP for Knowsley, and Rosemary Hawley, chairman of
Knowsley Primary Care Trust, last week. Also present were President of
the Royal Pharmaceutical Society Hemant Patel and Mayor of Halewood Andy
Moorhead.
Mr Argomandkhah told The Journal that he came to develop the medical
centre and pharmacy site after developers decided the small site would
not be profitable enough for their purposes.
“Although independent, the GP practice and pharmacy complement
each other and work towards delivering improved services to the patients
in the
community,” he said. Mr Argomandkhah added that he was not prepared
to sacrifice his vision of how pharmacy should be practised by opting
for a small dispensary within a medical centre. |
