    It is more difficult for licensed pharmacists to hang their licenses The State Food and drug administration has issued a document to severely rectify the practice of hanging their licenses! On March 19, the State Food and Drug Administration issued the notice on carrying out the rectification of licensed pharmacists' behavior in drug retail enterprises (hereinafter referred to as the notice) It shows that in order to fully implement the "four strictest" requirements of drug supervision and severely crack down on licensed pharmacists, the State Food and drug administration has decided to carry out a six-month rectification of licensed pharmacists in drug retail enterprises nationwide The following points reflect the strength of the regulation of licensed pharmacists' licensing behavior 1 If it is found in the inspection that there is a licensed licensed pharmacist in a drug retail enterprise, the certificate of the quality management standard for drug trade shall be revoked according to the serious violation of the drug trade quality management standard 2 If it is found through inspection that a drug retail enterprise does not have a licensed pharmacist as required, it shall be investigated and punished in accordance with the provisions of Article 78 of the drug administration law of the people's Republic of China; at the same time, the enterprise shall be included in the annual key inspection objects for follow-up inspection or flight inspection 3 If it is found through inspection that the drug retail enterprises fail to sell prescription drugs in accordance with the provisions, they shall be punished in accordance with Article 38 of the measures for the supervision and administration of drug circulation 4 Any licensed pharmacist found to be "licensed" in the inspection shall be revoked of his / her "licensed pharmacist registration certificate", recorded in the national licensed pharmacist registration management information system, and publicized; before the revocation of the above bad information record, he / she shall not be registered again for practice 5 If it is verified that there are licensed pharmacists in drug retail enterprises, it shall be reported to the local medical insurance management department and other departments, the qualification of designated medical insurance shall be cancelled, and a joint disciplinary mechanism shall be formed For certified licensed pharmacists, the registration certificate of licensed pharmacists shall be revoked and publicized to the public We should include licensed pharmacists in the "blacklist" of credit management, and actively explore the long-term mechanism of joint punishment and joint attack by multiple departments On March 15, CCTV exposed the phenomenon of licensed pharmacists hanging licenses According to a secret interview by CCTV reporters, when the Wanxin pharmacy in tanzishixin street, Nan'an District, Chongqing city put up the sign of "pharmacist is not on duty", the staff of the pharmacy still sold two prescription drugs, Xuesaitong tablet and amlodipine besylate tablet, to reporters The same situation also appeared in more than 20 pharmacies such as Chongqing jianzhijia chain health pharmacy, Tang's pharmacy, Heping pharmacy, Wanhe pharmaceutical chain pharmacy, jishantang pharmacy The reporter also found that although these pharmacies have registered their pharmacists' practicing pharmacists' certificates, they are not actually on duty Some pharmacies directly display the brand of "pharmacists are not on duty" A long-term engaged in drug distribution industry told reporters that these pharmacies actually do not have licensed pharmacists Licensed pharmacist's license is paid to rent It is commonly known as "hang license" in the industry The head of Chongqing xinweikang drugstore told reporters that the phenomenon of registration is very common in Chongqing drugstores According to the reporter's secret interview, the gray interest chain has formed a gray industry around the abnormal market demand of "hang license" Many enterprises even directly start the business of Hang license intermediary On the surface of the website, it seems to be a professional website that publishes job-hunting and recruitment information However, the reporter noticed that there are 4925 pieces of information about part-time job application of licensed doctors and 11800 pieces of information about part-time job application of licensed pharmacists on the website According to the staff of the employment card network, the so-called part-time job is just a cover, in fact, to hang a license By providing both parties with the opportunity to hang the license, the network will charge a certain service fee from it Another company called liezheng.com is more direct, claiming to be a professional medical license service platform in China The report points out that "certificate affiliation" has formed a complete chain, and everyone involved knows what they have done in violation of laws and regulations, but no one will break this layer of window paper and act on their own interests Why does hang card prohibit repeatedly more than? There are some differences between the number of personnel who have obtained the qualification certificate of licensed pharmacist and the number of personnel who are engaged in pharmaceutical care posts The reasons may be as follows According to statistics, by the end of 2018, the total number of licensed pharmacists passing the qualification examination in China has reached 1.03 million, including 418000 licensed pharmacists registered in social pharmacies There are more than 450000 pharmacies in China According to the 13th five year plan for national drug safety, each pharmacy needs two licensed pharmacists, so there is still a big gap in the position of licensed pharmacists On the one hand, in order to encourage more pharmaceutical related personnel to obtain the qualification certificate of licensed pharmacist, the state has relaxed the professional requirements for applying for the qualification certificate, such as biotechnology, biological experimental technology, biochemical industry, applied chemical industry and other professional categories in the professional reference catalogue of licensed pharmacist, which also meet the requirements for application To be honest, the professional setting is very broad Let's not talk about whether the pharmaceutical related professionals are engaged in pharmaceutical care jobs How many of these professionals or fresh graduates will be engaged in pharmaceutical related jobs? Let alone be a resident pharmacist in a retail pharmacy On the other hand, many licensed pharmacists say that in all kinds of professional qualification certificates in China, the salary of licensed pharmacists is the lowest, and licensed pharmacists naturally lack the motivation to work in stores Many licensed pharmacists choose to look for a job with higher salary in addition to the income from registration This is also an important reason why most people are not willing to engage in pharmaceutical care post after obtaining the qualification certificate of licensed pharmacist Moreover, consider from the standpoint of drugstores Many single drugstore practitioners say that drugstores have high operating costs and low profits, and are unable to bear the salaries of licensed pharmacists In addition, there is an embarrassing reality in the industry that those who have a licensed pharmacist's license will not sell drugs, and those who can sell drugs will not have a licensed pharmacist's license More insiders pointed out that licensed pharmacists should have used pharmaceutical knowledge to provide pharmaceutical services to patients, but due to electronic prescriptions and other reasons in the hospital, the outflow of prescriptions is not as strong as expected, even if licensed pharmacists are in the store, there is no way to audit Information source: State Food and Drug Administration and sepilant statement: this view only represents the author and does not represent the position of yaozhi.com Please exchange and supplement in the message area If you need to reprint, please be sure to indicate the author and source of the article.
