Abstract:
OBJECTIVE：To unscramble the Notice on Standardizing the Allocation and Use of Licensed Pharmacists in Drug Retail Enterprises （called Notice for short ）and related document ，and to give some suggestions to provide reference for the industry and policy decision departments. METHODS ：The background and content of Notice were described briefly ；the problemsexisting in the corresponding provincial differentiated allocation policy and the difficulties existing in the implementation were analyzed to give some relevant suggestions. RESULTS & CONCLUSIONS ：The main contents of Notice contained adhering to the policy of licensed pharmacists ，steadily improving the allocation level of licensed pharmacists ，refining and implementing the allocation requirements ，and strengthening the implementation of supervision and inspection responsibilities ；giving full play to the role of licensed pharmacists and continuously strengthening the team building. At present ，drug administrations of many provinces in China have issued specific policies on the differentiated allocation of licensed pharmacists and pharmaceutical technicians ，which are mainly divided into four schemes. The author believes that the classification method of drug retail enterprises implemented in Shandong and Guangdong provinces are the most scientific. The implementation of differentiated allocation of pharmacists with health（pharmacy）professional title in drug retail enterprises can alleviate the problem of insufficient licensed pharmacists to a certain extent ，but the disadvantage is that it can not achieve accurate registration and control as well as the management of licensed pharmacists ，which is easy to produce policy gaps ；after the “affiliation licensed pharmacist ’s certificate ”phenomenon， the“certificate affiliation of pharmacist with health （pharmacy）professional title ”phenomenon appeared. It is suggested that the provincial drug supervision and administration departments should try the differentiated allocation scheme of hierarchical management；learn from the management experience of licensed pharmacists and pharmaceutical technicians in Guangdong province， develop relevant platforms to manage the information of pharmaceutical technicians uniformly ； strengthen the communication and interaction with the health and human resource security department as well as the mutual promotion mechanism of personnel information screening ，so as to solve the core bottleneck of licensed pharmacists ’quality.
