Tóm tắt : | 27 p. The good pharmacy practice (GPP) Joint FIP/WHO guidelines on GPP: standards for quality of pharmacy servicesstates, “The mission of pharmacy practice is to contribute to health improvement and to help patients with healthproblems to make the best use of their medicines”. Based on the results of a literature review of the GPP rolesrelating to AMR and a survey conducted in the WHO European Member States, this report outlines the roles ofpharmacists in this mission and, since they are often the first point of contact for patients, their potential asimportant allies in the fight against antimicrobial resistance (AMR). The report illustrates that pharmacists alreadyhave experience in treating patients with antibiotics, both responsibly and within an appropriate legal framework. Italso indicates, however, that in many countries the general public can still buy antibiotics over the counter withouta diagnosis or prescription and use them at will. According to the survey, pharmacists are among the bestpositioned to influence the appropriate use of antibiotics and, therefore, have a crucial role to play in combatingAMR alongside policy-makers and general practitioners: every player is key. |
