Commenting on the launch of the Scottish Government’s refreshed strategy for pharmacy – Achieving Excellence in Pharmaceutical Care – Kenny Black, managing director of Rowlands – said, “Phoenix strongly welcomes the recognition in the strategy paper of the critical role which pharmacy plays in delivering safe, high-quality patient services and advice in partnership with other healthcare professionals.
We also welcome the Scottish Government’s commitment to developing and promoting pharmacists’ core clinical services and skills over the next five years.
I think many pharmacists south of the border will look enviously at the positive and progressive approach which the Scottish Government has adopted. The Scottish Government clearly sees pharmacy as being at the heart of delivering national health and wellbeing priorities”.
