Pharmacy consultation rooms are fast becoming a necessity for community pharmacies. With the changing nature of pharmacy and a shift in the level of services offered, local pharmacies often find a fully compliant consultation room adds significant value to any pharmacy business. In most instances this is an easy and cost effective addition to enhance services.
At Rapeed Design we offer a consultation room design and fitting as a standard part of our pharmacy design and refit package. We apply good practice and consider the need and function of a consultation room for compliance and grading inspections, from the point of view of the pharmacists and owner, and from the view of patient users.
To diversify services and to add to the business offering we have seen a significant number of clients requesting treatment rooms within the pharmacy setting. These rooms are often fitted to a consultation room medical grade or of a similar level and then used to offer complimentary therapies, private clinics and other health and wellbeing services. Healthy Living Pharmacies have greatly benefitted from the addition of a consultation room and treatment room fitting the government's requirements to have a premises that is fit for purpose.
Within the setting of a consultation room we offer bespoke fitted furniture and a sink. There are dedicated areas for patient information, storage, seating and in some GP specified consultation rooms there is a space for a patient bed and modesty curtain allowing for patient privacy.
When considering a pharmacy design for our clients we are pleased to be able to offer designs that are cost effective and don’t have to break the bank. A client wishing to explore their pharmacy design options may wish to contact us and discuss how a consultation room would help their business and consider which part refit package will suit.
