Pharmacies in Aveyron are facing a shortage… of pharmacists

French pharmacies face a shortage of qualified employees.

According to

, there are currently 15,000 managers and preparers missing in pharmacies in France.

This phenomenon does not spare Aveyron, reports Center Presse Aveyron.

A practitioner from Luc-la-Primaube has been trying to hire two pharmacists and three technicians on permanent contracts for 25 years... in vain.

According to him, this desertification is explained by a lack of attractiveness of the profession and by the preference of students for large cities.

The Covid-19 pandemic and the work overload it has brought are also singled out.

110 pharmacies in Aveyron

According to Pierre Vayssettes, president of the Aveyron Pharmacists' Union, "7,000 to 8,000" pharmacists are lacking in France, with the direct consequence of an increase in the average age in the profession.

Aveyron now has 110 pharmacies, more than half of which are owned by people over 55.
