Pharmacists don't have the right tools - Flame Health Blog

The right tools and resources are not yet in place to enable pharmacists to play a greater role in delivering self-care advice and medicines to patients, according to a new report from Sanofi.

Currently, 33 per cent of pharmacists working for independent or small pharmacy chains do not have the resources to support patients with self-care alongside their other roles, says the report, entitled ‘Driving a self-care revolution in the UK’.

To tackle this, close to half (45 per cent) of the 250 pharmacists surveyed believe greater emphasis by primary care practitioners on the benefits of self-care would leave them in a better place to support patients. Similarly, 42 per cent believe that recruiting more pharmacists would improve their capacity to deliver self-care advice.
