IN HIS report "Health in Scotland 2010 — assets for health", Chief Medical Officer Harry Burns described the progress Scotland has made recently. He also set out the challenge that lies ahead in making more improvements. Anyone involved in health will find the report of great interest. I think that, for pharmacists, it is of particular importance that we discuss the state of Scotland's health. This year will see a potentially landscape-altering review of pharmacy services in the country. We need to make sure that the pharmacy profession is positioned to play a role that helps improve health and in a way that reflects the profession's expertise.
