Hunt signals support for priority SCR access for community pharmacy

摘要

JEREMY HUNT, health secretary, has agreed to consider prioritising community pharmacy for access to the summary care record in 2015, along with ambulances, the NHS 111 service and accident and emergency departments, according to Sibby Buckle, member of the Royal Pharmaceutical Society's English Pharmacy Board. However, he would like to see a fall in emergency admissions as a result, she added. Mr Hunt's comments were made in a meeting held in Westminster this week to discuss pharmacists' role in the NHS.
