The Role of Pharmacy Care in the Healthcare System: Irish Pharmacy Union
Dr. Susan O'Dwyer:
There are a range of different conditions. We estimated that something like 26 conditions are treated in Wales so there are quite a number. If we take the earlier example of uncomplicated athlete's foot, there is an over-the-counter cream you can get for that. You come to the pharmacist, who will assess your symptoms and say he or she knows you need that medication but, unfortunately, the pharmacist cannot give it to you because the item cannot be provided free of charge-----
