The Boots Healthcare Way
1. Welcome
Hi, is there anything I can help you with?
2. Find out
Establish why your customer is visiting the pharmacy and which framework should be followed.
3. Advise: Products
If customers ask for advice on symptoms, use the WWHAM framework, followed by the CARE framework for the recommended product.
If customers ask for a specific product, pick it up off the shelf and say something like “of course”, then use the CARE framework to ensure the product is suitable for them and that they get the advice they need.
