South-west Sydney pharmacists bear the brunt as GPs close doors | lucy_carroll
Catherine Bronger, pharmacist and owner of the 24-hour Chemistworks in Wetherill Park, said she was rotating 60 staff, including a permanent on-call pharmacist, for when employees had to quarantine and the shop was identified as an exposure site.
“Most medical centres around us have gone online but pharmacies have to stay open. We give patients access to their medication and if they don’t get it, they will end up in the hospital system. Every day, we’re trying to find the balance of keeping staff and customers safe while staying open.” Fairfield pharmacist Mario Barone said his staff were at the “coalface trying to explain to people what’s going on, explaining to people in multiple languages what they need to do”.
