The Future Pharmacy project examined the role pharmacists might play in public health and patient care improvements and healthcare system efficiencies into the future. The report makes several recommendations following an extensive research project. At the launch of the report in November 2016, attendees were asked for their thoughts on the Future Pharmacy Report and the possibilities it presented.
This video is designed to support the introduction and use of the Pharmacy Assessment System, rolled-out by the PSI in late 2016, as a self-audit tool for pharmacies. It is part of the system of review of a pharmacy's practice, to ensure patient safety and quality of care in providing services and treatment in compliance with statutory requirements, PSI guidance and good pharmacy practice. Supervising pharmacists, in particular, will find it a useful resource when completing the Assessment System.
The Patient Charter is an information leaflet about the care and treatment that can be expected by the public in a community pharmacy. It also advises people about how they can assist their pharmacist in looking after their health. This video provides an overview of the Charter.
These films are intended to be helpful to superintendent pharmacists and to inform other pharmacists, pharmacy owners and staff of the importance of this pivotal governance role, which is provided for in legislation.
