Prescribing is transforming community pharmacy: from protocol-driven supply towards autonomous, patient-centred clinical decision making
In this episode, our hosts are joined by Phil Neal (professional development lead, Paydens) and CPPE’s own Emma Anderson to explore the evolving role of pharmacist independent prescribers and the systems needed to support safe, effective practice. Along the way we touch on multidisciplinary collaboration, scope of practice, PGDs, SOPs and more. Emma and Neal brought some illuminating anecdotes and examples to the conversation – tune in to ponder those with us.
