Dr.Woolam is the Family Physician in Happy Valley Goose Bay and the Vice President of Medical Services for Labrador.
He says the Newfoundland and Labrador Pharmacy board as well as the Standards of the Practise of the association of registered nurses of Newfoundland and Labrador had to make some changes around how they dispense medication to their community clinics on the north coast.
Labrador Grenfell health will terminate the practise of dispensing chronic medication in the Hopedale clinic.
