Relevance of the community pharmacy policy environment to pharmacists' performance, as reflected in stakeholders' perspectives on professionalism and standards
The findings of this study have implications for pharmacy as an autonomously regulated profession in Australia. Dispensing funding policy could better support and reward quality in pharmacists' performance, and there is strong support for compulsory monitoring of standards. Compliance with a nation-wide quality framework, and provision of a minimum set of professional services should be an obligatory requirement of all community pharmacies.
