Pharmacy practice  now involves patient-centered care including counselling, providing drug information, monitoring drug therapy and patient adherence, as well as the supply of medicines. Over the last decade, the role of pharmacists in the community has expanded with the provision of many professional services including medication reviews, diabetes and asthma management programs, and Health Style Living advice.

Pharmacy is  the first point of call for treating minor ailments, pharmacist prescribing, disease state management and immunisation. Your local  pharmacist already plays a valuable role in triaging minor conditions in the community. People will continue to consult pharmacists for minor health problems as they are a trusted and accessible source of information and advice.
