The Responsible Pharmacist (Community Pharmacy in the UK 2022)
This pharmacy video looks at the role of the community pharmacist in the UK in 2022 acting as the responsible pharmacist. What is the responsible pharmacist, what do they do and what can and cannot be done when the responsible pharmacist is not there.
The MPharm pharmacy university degree is changing, and is different to the degree as we have known it. Now, the pre-registration training year has been replaced with a foundation training year, and the year aims to incorporate over the next 5 years the transition to allow pharmacists to qualify as independent prescribers. Time will tell what this means for the current and future cohort of pharmacists, and the next 5 years or so shows a very interesting time for pharmacy in the UK. Hopefully, the pharmacy videos on this channel help to aid pharmacy students, those interested in pharmacy, pharmacy trainees as well as practicing community pharmacists and managers to get a better idea of pharmacy in the UK.
