Pharmacists as independent prescribers in community pharmacy: A scoping review
Pharmacist prescribing practices vary significantly worldwide, with differences in terminology, legislation, and training requirements. This scoping review provides the necessary information to visualize and conceptualize the current scope of pharmacist independent prescribers, offering a foundation for advancing this practice in new jurisdictions. Further research should address current models in under-studied regions, explore the scope for pharmacists to prescribe for undiagnosed conditions, and analyze payment structures in non-funded jurisdictions.
