Project Summary

The purpose of this project was to identify areas of current community pharmacy practice that may, with the provision of appropriate training, be assumed by dispensary and/or pharmacy assistants. As part of the consultancy, targeted consultations with representative stakeholders; a detailed analysis of the current role and training of pharmacy assistants; a comparison with their international equivalents; and an exploration (including impact assessment and business case) of the potential functions that could be delegated to pharmacy assistants were investigated.
