Notes:

This presentation will look at the evolving role of pharmacists in Alberta and expanding access to care.  Scott will discuss what services your pharmacist can actually provide and how the scope of practice has changed.  The future of pharmacy within the AHS and the benefits to the public.  What vaccinations are available, the myths and benefits each can provide.  How your pharmacist can provide that extra ‘piece’ of support in healthcare taking some of the strain off your GP.
