PharmaCare is a vital missing piece in the Canadian healthcare system. With pharmacists expanding scope of practice, we are accessible AND ABLE to help patients in many ways. However many patients are not willing or simply cannot afford to pay for these services! #PHARM4420
Canada is "the only high-income country with a universal health care system without a universal drug plan". That needs to change moving forward! Treatments that are needed outside the hospital are also very important to Canadians' health! #PHARM4420 https://t.co/IWFobwIVJB
Under the "Protecting Canadians from Excessive Drug Prices" plan of 2017, "savings to Canadians over a 10-year period were projected to be $8.8-billion". These changes can take time and work to be implemented, but we need to start somewhere! #PHARM4420
@mccpharmd I agree Megan! It's not only great to see these services being provided, but also see that the cost isn't coming from the patients pocket - a reason many patients may opt for hospital visits. #PHARM4420
These pharmacist led clinics are currently working wonders in provinces with more advance scopes of practice and prescribing capabilities. Pharmacist led clinics would be a great way to introduce more advanced pharmacist prescribing to the public in provinces like NL! #PHARM4420
Pharmacist led clinics are the next big step in improving healthcare nation wide! These clinics help avail of pharmacist expertise and relieve hospital emergency services. Pharmacist led clinics are proving helpful in many places like Alberta. #PHARM4420 https://t.co/c3XHuMhY1M
