What next for community pharmacists managing people with asthma?
Dear PIP editor,
This was a very interesting and thought-provoking read Johnathan. Community pharmacists are often, in my opinion, asked to manage a lot with a great deal of clinical pressure. Unfortunately, this is often expected despite little or no multidisciplinary team support or communication.
Hopefully with the development of data collection and a greater understanding of patient medication use over the next few years, as you suggest, we can reach a point where there is more coherent working between community-based pharmacy practitioners and practice-based practitioners.
This would empower a whole workforce to manage risk reduction in asthmatic patients as part of daily routine rather than an additional service to strive for.
Your etc.
