THUNDER BAY — Local pharmacists say the province’s move to allow them to independently prescribe medication for a list of 13 minor ailments as of Jan. 1 will bring clear benefits for patients and the public health care system as a whole.
Ontario is among the last provinces to allow some version of the practice, with Alberta first introducing legislation to enable pharmacist prescribing in 2007. “I think in a community like Thunder Bay, where we’re really experiencing a lot of pressure on those systems … this is going to be a really exciting thing for access to care.”
“There’s lots of resources already out there for pharmacists who want to get extra training to ready themselves, but we’ve really been doing this forever – this is how we were trained. We have a lot of clinical skills and assessment skills from our schooling.”
