Expanding the Role of the Pharmacy: Irish Pharmacy Union
6:00 pm
Mr. Darragh O'Loughlin:
To be fair to the HSE - words I never thought I would say - the executive has it own resource issues. Also, the HSE is working on expert care programmes. The HSE has expert groups working on programmes for specific patient cohorts. I expect that once those groups have reported and then the expert care programmes are in place or published the pharmacist's role will become clearer for medicines use reviews targeted at specific patient groups based on their medical condition.
