Pharmacists will be able to legally prescribe some medication
Published 10 months, 3 weeks ago
Description
For decades pharmacists have been giving free advice and care to their customers but now, they will be able to legally prescribe some medication as well. It’s a step change and will hopefully unclog GP surgeries but also benefit pharmacies economically. They will only be allowed to prescribe 8 very specific symptoms but it’s hoped the list will grow. All to discuss with Caoimhe McAuley who is Director of Pharmacy & Superintendent Pharmacist with Boots and IPU Vice-president.
