Pharmacist Yaseen Yousaf hopes to open a new pharmacy in the expanding Granton Waterfront area.
Yaseen said: “I am proposing to run a Pharmacy First Plus Service (Pharmacist Independent Prescriber-led common clinical conditions service).
“This will really help patients, as pharmacies are now doing more, and we are diagnosing and prescribing medication.
“Pharmacies are overwhelmed at the moment and this new addition should really help the community.”
A public consultation is underway and will end on 7th June 2022. The link to the consultation can be found below:
