The goal of this diploma thesis is the estimation of the objective value of a pharmacy as of 31. 12. 2010. In line with standard valuation process, in the first part the financial analysis gives a fair estimate of the financial health and effectivity of the company. Subsequently, the strategic analysis deals with long-term perspectives of the respective company, together with a detailed analysis of the company's industry. The first two parts are used as a basis for prognosis of value generators and financial plan preparation. The final value of the company is determined by means of two methods, DCF equity and capitalized net earnings method.

No / Every year in England and Wales, 105,000 people sufferfrom uncontrolled cancer pain and are rarely offered community pharmacy medicine consultations (e.g. Medicines Use Reviews -MURs)[1]. Our aim was to examine how patients with cancer pain deal with their pain medication and to investigate their experiences of and attitudes towards community pharmacy.

Backround. Based of my personal observations when employed as a pharmacist in a Saudi hospital it was clear that there were problems with medicine supply to outpatients. This thesis was designed to scientifically investigate the types of shortages, the reason(s) for such problems and potential solutions to the problem. Methods . This study was undertaken using a variety of experimental techniques to determine the views and perceptions of patients, pharmacists, physicians and administrative staff of the hospital under examination. To establish the scale of the problem: focus groups (n=25), structured questionnaires, structured interviews/meetings for health care professionals and a national survey (n=650) were the research tools used to objectively determine the relevant data. The data were analyzed by appropriate statistical methods. Results and Discussion That there was a real problem was quickly established in the data obtained from patients. A similar finding was made for each of the 'professional groups'. The central problem was one of shortages of medicines for prescriptions presented by outpatients. It was not a case the medicines were simply not available because they were never stocked but rather a simple shortage in the dispensary stock. It was established the lack of medicines was not due to central budget arrangements but involved prescribing quantities outside of the hospital guidelines which no degree of planning could accommodate. There was also the very unexpected finding that a prescription could be filled in a variety of hospital dispensaries as individuals could access more than one hospital or they could consult more than one physician for the same condition and obtain effectively double the supplies. Communications between the hospital and patients and the health care professionals could all be improved by perhaps increasing the knowledge of the patient about the correct use of medicines.
