Pharmacists are experts in medicine and responsible for the safe and effective supply of medicines to patients and the public. They are responsible for giving advice on how to take prescribed drugs, including monitoring requirements or potential side effects. As prescribers, pharmacists are required to use diagnostic skills alongside their clinical expertise to deliver high quality, person-centred care.
