Buzz
The Pharmacy Hive Buzz tool is an intuitive and inclusive area of the portal, it can be used to conceptualise and deliberate on topics.
Buzz can be used by any members of portal in their pharmacy(s) apart from a read-only member who can only view them. They are easy to create within the pharmacies and it is simple for other members of the pharmacy to collaborate on. A great feature of the buzz is that everyone can update it as and when they choose and there are no time constraints to how long a buzz can be open.
