We are all working hard – but are we working smart?

As the pressure upon the NHS reaches breaking point, the time has come to consider how the unique skills of pharmacists around the safety of medicines and the development of pharmaceutical care can be deployed for the benefit of patients. While these developments will represent opportunities for some, they introduce risks for others as the established order of pharmacy practice across all of its sectors comes into question.

The Northern Ireland Pharmacy Conference considers how all sectors of pharmacy might come together to use their current positioning and develop new and integrated services that are beneficial for patients, the taxpayer and the profession.
