Meeting customers’ needs

Many pharmacies forget to take steps to ask customers what they want more of from the pharmacy

This CPD module is about meeting your customers' needs. It will consider the importance of identifying calls to change and responding to them using a research-plan-action cycle, in order to ensure customer satisfaction.

Once you identify the needs of your customers, you can plan how your pharmacy will adapt to meet them

Goal:

  • To recognise the consequences of not listening to your customers plus the benefits of reacting to indicators for change.

Objectives:

  • To examine various different ways of obtaining feedback from customers about how they view the service your pharmacy offers
  • Explore a process for examining different options for change where necessary
  • Use a simple process for ensuring the effective implementation of change.

Contributing author:

Liam Stapleton, BSc Pharm (Hons), PG Dip Public Health, Health Promotion, independent consultant at Metaphor Development and superintendent pharmacist.
