1, severely crack down on licensed pharmacists' certificate-hanging behavior.
Since the CCTV 3. 15 party exposed the problems of licensed pharmacists' "hanging certificates" and selling prescription drugs without prescription, the State Pharmaceutical Products Supervision and Administration issued the "Regulations on Professional Qualification System of Licensed Pharmacists" (hereinafter referred to as the "Regulations") after issuing the rectification notice of "hanging certificates of licensed pharmacists", so as to determine the punishment measures by legislation.
Among them, Articles 13, 26 and 28 of the Regulations clarify the punishment measures for illegal acts of licensed pharmacists and practicing units:
Article 13 An applicant for registration must meet the following conditions:
1. Obtain the professional qualification certificate of licensed pharmacist;
2, abide by the law, abide by the professional ethics of licensed pharmacists, no bad information records;
3, good health, can adhere to the post of licensed pharmacist;
4. Approved by the unit.
Twenty-sixth units that are not equipped with licensed pharmacists according to the regulations shall be ordered by the local pharmaceutical supervisory and administrative departments at or above the county level to be equipped within a time limit and punished in accordance with relevant laws and regulations.
Twenty-eighth by cheating, bribery and other improper means to obtain the "Licensed Pharmacist Registration Certificate", the license issuing department shall revoke the "Licensed Pharmacist Registration Certificate", and shall not register licensed pharmacists for three years; If a crime is constituted, criminal responsibility shall be investigated according to law.
2. The evaluation of professional titles of licensed pharmacists has been implemented one after another.
On March 20th this year, the State Administration of Pharmaceutical Products and Ministry of Human Resources and Social Security jointly issued the Regulations on the Professional Qualification System of Licensed Pharmacists, pointing out that "professional technicians who have obtained the professional qualification of licensed pharmacists can be recognized as competent pharmacists or competent pharmacists, and can be used as a condition to declare higher-level professional titles."
In order to improve the whole system and effectively link up with the national licensed pharmacist examination professional qualification system, the US Food and Drug Administration of Guangdong Province has specially formulated the Implementation Plan for the reform of professional title evaluation of professional and technical personnel in the pharmaceutical industry in Guangdong Province, pointing out that it is necessary to establish the corresponding relationship between the professional titles of the pharmaceutical industry in our province and the professional qualifications of national licensed pharmacists. Professional and technical personnel in the pharmaceutical industry who have obtained the qualification of licensed pharmacist may be identified as having the title of competent pharmacist (licensed pharmacist) as a condition for declaring a higher professional title.
3. It is realistic for licensed pharmacists to practice more.
On May 24 this year, the Notice on Strengthening the Management of Licensed Pharmacists in Pharmaceutical Retail Enterprises issued by the US Food and Drug Administration in Shaanxi pointed out that licensed pharmacist Yamatonokusushi was encouraged to practice in pharmaceutical retail enterprises on holidays and in his spare time as a supplement to the vacancy of licensed pharmacists in stores. Drug retail stores should establish a multi-point employee file and management system, and put it on record in the local market bureau, and its continuing education should be organized and implemented by the local market supervision bureau.
The pharmacy will release the sales of prescription drugs.
Under the background of the rectification of national drug retail enterprises, all retail pharmacies are faced with two major problems: the first pharmacist takes up his post and the second prescription drug is sold by prescription. Judging from the existing conditions, it is impossible for all pharmaceutical retail enterprises to equip pharmacists according to national requirements and sell all prescription drugs according to prescriptions. Therefore, Guangdong, Shandong, Chongqing, Shaanxi and other provinces and cities have issued documents to encourage retail pharmacies to establish a file management system for patients with chronic diseases.
In addition, the National Health Commission twice proposed the establishment of long-term prescription standards and norms for chronic diseases. According to the documents issued by National Health Commission, the long-term prescription management system for chronic diseases is also stepping up. Once introduced, the national pharmacies will usher in a good situation.
5. The remote examiner has been fully rolled out.
Remote examination was originally a transitional policy to alleviate the shortage of licensed pharmacists, but with the order of the State Administration of Pharmaceuticals, remote examination was completely popularized. With the urgent advantage of assisting pharmacies to accept outflow prescriptions and alleviating the shortage of licensed pharmacists, the distance examination after 3. 15 was searched repeatedly. At the end of April this year alone, Hunan, Shandong, Shanxi and Heilongjiang provinces issued documents to promote distance examinations.
What's more, the "Guiding Opinions on Classified Management of National Retail Pharmacy (Draft for Comment)" issued by the Ministry of Commerce on June 5438+065438+ 10 last year pointed out that three types of pharmacies must be equipped with at least two licensed pharmacists, but drug retail chain stores that implement online centralized examinations can be regarded as equipped with 1 licensed pharmacists. It can be seen that the policy has changed, and the layout of chain stores in advance is more favorable.
6, a large number of non-pharmacies selling drugs.
Since Beijing printed and distributed sales services such as Class B OTC drugs in chain convenience stores, the Beijing market has undergone earth-shaking changes. Up to now, many large chain non-pharmacies such as Watsons, Wu Mei, Suning, Jingkelong and Sinopec have laid out their drug retail businesses in succession, further accelerating the transformation of the drug retail industry, and more convenience non-pharmacies will come.
7. Pharmacy purchases or spreads.
On May 15, the Opinions on Trial Centralized Drug Purchase in Private Medical Institutions jointly issued by Shandong Medical Insurance Bureau and other four departments pointed out that private medical institutions and chain retail pharmacies (hereinafter referred to as contracted medical institutions) can purchase drugs online through the centralized drug purchase platform in Shandong Province.
Coincidentally, a week later, the Notice on Issues Related to Opening the Purchasing Authority of Zhejiang Medical Machinery Purchasing Platform by the Provincial Medical Machinery Purchasing Platform also pointed out that six provincial medical and pharmaceutical chain pharmacy groups, such as Intertek, Huadong Pharmacy, State-controlled Pharmacy, Xinyi Pharmacy, Yunkai Yamei Pharmacy and Jiuzhou Pharmacy, can apply for purchasing accounts on Zhejiang Medical Machinery Purchasing Platform and open online purchasing authority on medical machinery purchasing platform.
At present, only Shandong and Zhejiang provinces have released the centralized purchasing authority of pharmacies, but in June of 20 19 and 1 year, the state launched the "4+7" pilot policy of centralized purchasing of drugs, which achieved remarkable results. With the continuous follow-up of "4+7" in various provinces and cities, in order to balance the drug prices between hospitals and pharmacies and facilitate the people to buy drugs, all pharmacies have been included in "purchasing with quantity".
8. The competition of pharmacies outside the hospital is becoming more and more fierce.
Due to the constraints of the proportion of drugs in hospitals, zero drug addition, centralized drug procurement and other factors, coupled with the end of pharmacy trusteeship, some drugs, especially high-priced drugs and imported drugs, began to seek the off-hospital market, making pharmacies around hospitals hot. With the acceleration of prescription outflow, relevant circulation platforms are welcoming opportunities, and pharmacies, especially those around hospitals, will become the main undertakers.
At the moment of marketization, large chain pharmacies will seize the opportunity in this battle with their diverse varieties and abundant capital, and the distance from hospitals will become an important consideration for pharmacy mergers and acquisitions.

9. The era of smart supervision is coming.
On April 28 this year, the State Administration of Pharmaceutical Products issued an announcement to continue to promote the construction of drug information traceability system, and issued two information standards: Guidelines for the Construction of Drug Information Traceability System and Coding Requirements for Drug Traceability Codes. Once the drug traceability system is implemented, supervision and inspection will be more efficient and convenient.
On May 24th of the same year, the State Administration of Pharmaceutical Products issued a notice on "Action Plan for Accelerating Drug Intelligent Supervision", pointing out that by 2020, the technology and application framework of drug supervision informatization construction in line with the development trend of information technology will be established. On this basis, after 3-5 years, we will promote the deep integration of information technology and supervision, and form a new situation of "strict management" and "intelligent management".
10, the prospects of many pharmacies are worrying.
Recently, the pharmacy circle in Shandong Province ushered in the most stringent inspection in history. According to incomplete statistics, in May alone, the GSP certificates of 62 pharmacies in Jinan, Heze, Zaozhuang, Weifang, Weihai, Tai 'an, Yantai, Binzhou, Linyi and Jining in Shandong Province were revoked and withdrawn.
Not only that, the pharmacy manager found out that up to now, the drug supervision departments of nine provinces and cities such as Shandong, Heilongjiang, Shanghai, Beijing, Gansu, Henan, Shanxi, Ningxia and Jiangxi have issued documents covering the inspection of drug retail enterprises. Under strict investigation, pharmacies are inevitably overwhelmed.
At the same time, with the country promoting the reform of administrative examination and approval of "simplifying administration and decentralizing power, strengthening supervision and improving services" and optimizing the examination and approval process, pharmacies exploded last year, and there are currently 490,000 licensed pharmacies. According to the CMH monitoring data of Zhongkang, the overall scale of the national retail terminal market reached 384.2 billion yuan in 20 18, with an increase of only 4.85%, the lowest level in the past 20 years.
It can be seen that the cakes in the pharmaceutical retail market are limited. Before finding a breakthrough, blindly increasing the number of stores will only increase the competitive pressure.
For licensed pharmacists, both advantages and disadvantages are opportunities and challenges. Small partners who have obtained the qualification certificate of licensed pharmacists should also pay attention to the accumulation of experience in their daily work and enhance their own strength. Small partners who are preparing for the qualification certificate of licensed pharmacists should also take the time to review and strive to get the certificate as soon as possible to enhance their competitiveness!
