Really interesting article on PJ Online about the lack of communications causing a 200% increase in medication errors. I couldn’t agree more as I mentioned in a previous post http://www.pluk.co.uk/2010/pharmacist-access-to-medical-information/
Pharmacists need access to medical information to fulfil their potential as the healthcare providers on the high street and could make a masssive impact in terms of drug costs and effectiveness. To me it’s a no-brainer but until the government start contracting with professionals i.e. individual pharmacists and not shops it’ll never happen because GP’s don’t want supermarkets and multi-nationals to have access to their patient’s medical records

A community pharmacy screening pilot for intravenous drug misusers identified 68 per cent of patients who had unknowingly been exposed to hepatitis C.
The scheme, set up by the British Liver Trust, illustrates how community pharmacies that already offer needle exchange and methadone services for drug misusers can help identify undiagnosed liver disease.
