Ontario Pharmacist scope is widened – Treating minor ailments
A pharmacist led walk-in-clinic means instead of seeing the doctor, you can directly meet the pharmacist and discuss your symptoms about your medical conditions. At Lifecare Rx Pharmacy, it is as simple as you walk-in to our pharmacy, skipping the doctor’s office and head straight to our pharmacist to get assessments and prescriptions for the recently approved minor ailment conditions.
The value of pharmacist involvement in health care:
The pharmacist’s main responsibility is to maximize positive outcomes of drug therapy and minimize drug misadventures. Pharmacists are the key medication experts. During the time of pandemic, Pharmacists in Ontario provided access to the public by offering services like Covid testings and vaccinations apart from their regular pharmacy day to day work. These services brought value to patients, caregivers, and other healthcare professionals. They can impact the health care system by very cost efficient and effective care. As the healthcare industry continues to grapple with labor shortages and staffing issues, experts argue pharmacists are an underutilized resource that could play a much greater role in patient care.
