Pharmacists Aim To Create New Role, UK
People with long-term chronic illnesses may be seen by a pharmacist
instead of a GP in years to come.
People wanting help with lifestyle changes including giving up smoking, or
who suffer from long-term health conditions, or who want health advice
could find themselves being seen by a pharmacist trained to prescribe
medicines.
The idea is being piloted in parts of Hampshire but pharmacists are aware
they have to win the hearts and minds of both GPs and patients if they are
to develop a bigger role.
University of Portsmouth lecturer and pharmacist Stephen Inns is currently
one of just two doctor-funded pharmacists in Hampshire trained to
prescribe drugs. He is among the UK's first cohort of independent
prescribing pharmacists. He works alongside GPs in a cardiovascular clinic
for two sessions a week and the other two days teaches tomorrow' s
pharmacists.
He said: ' We are building bridges with primary care trusts ' and GPs in
particular ' to open up the way pharmacists can take on a greater role in
health care.
' If you say ' pharmacist' to most people they think of the chemist shop on
the high street. What most people don' t know is pharmacists are extremely
knowledgeable about medicines and many GPs ask pharmacists for advice
about new medicines or the ways medicines interact with each other.
' We also have training in patient care and many of our students studying
pharmacy want to be able to fully use their extensive knowledge about
medicines to help patients.'

At the moment about 60 percent of a GP' s time is spent reviewing patients
with long-term chronic illnesses, according to Mr Inns. But with
additional training pharmacists could take on the management of
patient-care for such people, freeing GPs to spend more time diagnosing
illnesses and treating more complex cases.
Training to provide this greater clinical role for pharmacists is
currently being provided for postgraduate students at the University of
Portsmouth by Dr Jane Portlock, principal lecturer in pharmacy practice.
One of Mr Inns' s students, Shahik Mulla, is conducting a study which will
give GPs, primary care trusts and the university a greater insight into
what the future holds for patients and for those working in or for the
NHS.
Shahik is in his fourth year studying pharmacy and is researching GPs'
understanding of the skills of pharmacists and what they think about
working more closely with pharmacists in the future.
He is shadowing pharmacists to get a better understanding of their current
responsibilities ' some are already responsible for medication and repeat
prescription reviews in GP surgeries and for medicine management in
nursing homes and training health care staff on medication updates.
The results of Shahik' s study could have direct influence over hundreds of
GP surgeries.
Shahik said: ' If GPs can be persuaded to hand over some patient care to
pharmacists this will reduce GPs' workload substantially. Pharmacists are
not just for checking prescriptions; we can do a lot more ' we have both
clinical and patient contact skills.'
The study is Shahik' s final year project and includes sending an in-depth
questionnaire to 250 GPs as well as those who ' buy' healthcare for primary
care trusts and GP surgery practice managers. The report on the results
will be available by June.
