Education: 002. Patient-Centered Care in Pharmacy
Description
Putting patients at the centre of their care is a key focus within the practice of pharmacy, bringing a range of benefits, including enhanced self-ownership of health, greater patient autonomy, and improvement in treatment/management outcomes. However, patient-centered care isn't without its challenges, and as such, it's important to consider key strategies which can allow pharmacists and other healthcare professionals to keep the patient at the centre of their own care, whilst ensuring that treatment remains, safe, effective, and evidenced-based.
In this episode of PharmaCast, Dr Dan Corbett discusses patient-centered care with Professor Sharon Haughey from the School of Pharmacy at Queen's University Belfast, and Dr Joanne Brown, Clinical Education Pharmacist, both of whom are heavily involved in the education of student pharmacists, and the development of their skills in patient care.
