| Abstract: | Shared care guidelines (SCGs) assist healthcare professionals and patients in clinical decision making, allowing the seamless transfer of patient treatment, management, and pharmaceutical care. In Malta, rheumatology patients pick up their chronic medication supply free of charge from a community pharmacy of their choice. It is important that the community pharmacist is aware of the plan by the caring rheumatology team within the public NHS hospital. SCGs enable for improved communication and coordination between primary and secondary settings. |
