A “Knowledge and skills reference guide for pharmacists supporting self-care” has been published by FIP today.
It has been adapted specifically for pharmacy practice from the World Health Organization Competency Standards for Health and Care Workers to Support People’s Self-care. It is designed to be a comprehensive resource for pharmacists, providing them with the knowledge and skills needed to support self-care effectively, and covering five key domains: people-centredness; decision-making; collaboration; personal conduct; evidence-based practice; and communication. It also highlights the role of pharmacists in supporting people to access safe and effective over-the-counter treatments, recognise symptoms that require medical attention, and make informed lifestyle choices that promote health and prevent disease.
