There is a push for using more efficient technology to bridge knowledge gaps in healthcare. The major piece of technology used to support pharmacists in delivering pharmaceutical care is the Patient Medication Record (PMR) systems, which is now widely used to manage patient care. According to our research, the majority of our locums have stated that by not knowing how to use the PMR systems, which tend to vary from pharmacy to pharmacy, it prevents them from wanting to apply for locum shifts there.

As a way of trying to help combat this barrier, we have created our own PMR resources guide that all pharmacists can use. This includes the pharmacy name, the PMR system that they use, and a link to the official how to guide.
