Consultation seeks views on skill mix in pharmacy

摘要

A consultation document on making better use of a range of skills in pharmacy was launched this week by health minister Rosie Winterton."We need to look at a more flexible approach in how services are delivered,allowing pharmacists to make full use of their expertise in medicines with the support of all staff working in pharmacies," Ms Winterton said.In essence,"Making the best use of the pharmacy workforce",looks at two issues:personal control and supervision in pharmacy.The principles underpinning the document have been agreed across the UK,but separate consultations on the details will follow in Wales,Scotland and Northern Ireland.
