Abstract: A poster presentation regarding the perception of pharmacists and patients of the pharmacist-of-your-choice scheme in community pharmacies. Introduction: The POYC scheme was implemented as a pilot project in December 2007 with the aim being that of facilitating the patient’s life. Through this system the patient is able to collect free medicines from the preferred private community pharmacy of one’s choice and most importantly from the pharmacist of the patient’s choice. Only those patients who are entitled to benefit from the Government’s free pharmaceutical service can register with the POYC Scheme. Aims: To investigate issues in the POYC scheme including the problem of out of stock (OOS) medicines, to conduct structured interviews to patients and pharmacists regarding the issues and costs of the POYC system and to propose improvements to the POYC system according to the feedback received from the interviews.
