Pharmacy news and updates - Charting a course for pharmacy

In the second of our series of articles looking at different aspects of the future of the sector, Harry McQuillan considers the increasingly clinical and risk management-focused role that community pharmacies have in keeping people well and as close to home as possible.

Last month, I discussed how, as a network, we need to make the most of each and every interaction with our patients and the public. This month, I want to explore the shift in focus from accuracy of medicines supply to safety of supply.

We are fortunate to be starting from a solid base in Scotland, with long-established services in place to support those with both acute and longer-term conditions. Each of these, however, needs further development to really maximise the potential of community pharmacy teams.
