HOW CAN PHARMACISTS HELP THE HOMELESS?

UK researchers have looked at a new service where pharmacists conducted pop-up, drop-in health clinics – no appointment needed – to various homeless support venues in Glasgow City Centre.

Interventions were provided by pharmacist independent prescribers over the 9-month period of the study, at venues including hostels, day centres, soup kitchens and charities, according to a study published in the International Journal of Pharmacy Practice.
