Supporting pharmacists in the age of self-care
Dental COVID-19 has accelerated the evolution of the healthcare landscape – and never more so than for the community pharmacy. As the healthcare professionals that remained open throughout the pandemic, the pharmacy team became the primary source of information, advice and support to help people self-care.
GSK convened a global round table event entitled ‘Standing with pharmacists in the age of self-care’. The expert members agreed that now is the time to create a new model for healthcare, focused on disease prevention and improving health literacy – with pharmacy at the centre. Together, these experts have outlined the challenges that need to be overcome to make this change happen and improve healthcare for everyone.
