Funding for 40 community pharmacies to provide osteoarthritis self-care advice

摘要

Some 40 community pharmacies are taking part in a pain management pilot for patients suffering from osteoarthritis, a local pharmaceutical committee (LPC) has said. The pilot will see pharmacists in Stoke-on-Trent, North Staffordshire and South Staffordshire consult with osteoarthritis patients aged 45 years and over to support their management of joint pain in the hand, hip, knee or foot.
