The future of pharmacy
October 17, 2011
THE Pharmacist Coalition for
Health Reform has outlined its
vision for the future, saying it sees
Australian pharmacists working in
healthcare teams to provide
integrated care for patients in GP
practices, clinics, hospitals,
rehabilitation centres and
community health centres.
The vision, described by PCHR
spokesperson Liesel Wett, also
included pharmacists providing
follow up support for patients
leaving hospital; working in and
through Medicare Locals; and
working closely with aged care
facilities to support residents.
The vision also sees the provision
of funding for pharmacists to consult
in-pharmacy with patients or during
home visits, to review, monitor
and educate them about medicines.
