| Abstract: | A poster presentation regarding a pharmacist prescribing framework for ophthalmic and skin conditions. Introduction: Over the past years the pharmacy profession has been shifting from a product based approach to a patient focused practice and pharmacist prescribing is one of the implementations being enforced to improve the pharmacy-patient outcome. Eight pharmacist prescribing systems are being put into practice among different countries, including: UK, New Zealand, US, and Canada. From a local study in 2013, it emerged that 37 out of 45 were in favour of Supplementary Prescribing by collaborating with GPs for minor infections and skin conditions. Aims: • To develop a set of guidelines for minor eye infections and skin conditions to propose a framework for prescribing by pharmacists. • To develop a documentation strategy and a monitoring system. • To validate and evaluate the guidelines so as to establish the practicality, presentation and comprehensiveness. |
