Pharmacists will be able to legally prescribe some medication

For decades pharmacists have been giving free advice and care to their customers but now, they will be able to legally prescribe some medication as well.  It’s a step change and will hopefully unclog GP surgeries but also benefit pharmacies economically.  They will only be allowed to prescribe 8 very specific symptoms but it’s hoped the list will grow.  All to discuss with Caoimhe McAuley who is Director of Pharmacy & Superintendent Pharmacist with Boots and IPU Vice-president.
