Community pharmacy services

Community pharmacy services include more than just dispensing medications; they provide healthcare support directly to the public. Pharmacists offer advice on medicines, manage chronic conditions like diabetes, and provide services such as health screenings, vaccinations, and smoking cessation programs. They help ensure medications are used safely and effectively, offer guidance on minor health issues, and sometimes manage repeat prescriptions. These services help people maintain their health, manage illnesses, and prevent disease, acting as accessible healthcare providers within the community.
