Shoppers Drug Mart has announced the opening of the Pharmacy Care Clinic at its Pilot Sound location in north Edmonton with the goal of increasing access to health care for Albertans.
Both the dispensary and clinic spaces include a range of redesigned patient-friendly features: An efficient single counter for all prescription processes, including drop off, pick up, counselling, and payment; a Care Concierge, to facilitate smooth and personalized clinic visits; child-friendly consultation rooms for family comfort; and new “Let’s Talk” spaces for counselling.
Located at 5351 167 Avenue NW, the clinic will also offer patients access to a range of pharmacy healthcare services, including the assessment and treatment of injuries and common ailments such as urinary tract infections and pink eye.
Owner and pharmacist Chad Edmonds said the goal of the clinic to help alleviate the pressure on primary care.
The Pilot Sound clinic follows the successful launch of previously opened pharmacy care clinics in Alberta and Ontario where Shoppers pharmacists are seeing an average of 30 patients a day.
Patients can access services by booking an appointment or by walk-in.
