Scotland is leading the way again

摘要

Once again,community pharmacy in Scotland is leading the way.Supplementary prescribing pharmacists can apply for ring-fenced money in order to establish clinics - either at their own premises or at local GP surgeries - to contribute to the well-being of patients with long-term conditions (p73).This initiative,which comes in advance of the establishment of the new contract for community pharmacists in April 2006,gives pharmacists pound500 to cover start-up costs and then an extra pound150 per week to cover the running of the clinic.
