Abstract:
A trial scheme in which patients with common self-limiting conditions are offered a consultation with a community pharmacist instead of a GP has been taken up by more than a quarter of eligible patients. The pharmacists prescribe from a formulary agreed in consultation with GPs and the health authority. Pharmacists receive a payment for the consultation whether or not a prescription is dispensed.
