Global trends in pharmacy practice

Anderson, Claire

Abstract

The practice of pharmacy globally has evolved during the 21st century in response to the changing economic, political and social environment. Using country examples this chapter examines some of progress made in community pharmacy and particularly services that are being funded and delivered in prevention, risk assessment, screening, referral, disease management and medicines optimisation. Responding to the changing global landscape in health requires collective global action, although national policies are also important. Pharmacy is the third largest health workforce yet are still not always remunerated as a health professional, although this is starting to change in some countries. Countries need to learn from each other, cooperate, and innovate across sectors to develop shared solutions.
