A/Prof Jennifer Isenor, Dalhousie University: Pharmacists, Primary Care, and Prescribing: What do pharmacists need to succeed and what do patients really value?
Primary care pharmacy practice (in community pharmacies and clinics) is changing, driven by the COVID-19 pandemic, an increase in publicly-funded pharmacist prescribing, and the creation and expansion of pharmacist-led primary care clinics. In this presentation, Dr. Jennifer Isenor will provide an overview of several interdisciplinary research projects aimed at supporting pharmacists, against this backdrop of rapid change, and understanding patient value in pharmacist-led primary care in the Canadian Maritime Provinces.
