Community service from Retail Pharmacy.

Field needs 'Ready-to-Use' Pharmacists. Academe should produce
'Ready-to-Use' Pharmacists.

Because of poor academic training, I'm receiving queries on how to serve community from a Retail Pharmacy?
Here is how it can be done:
1. Wear a white coat with name plate.
2. Talk socially with #Few clients and enquire (note down if necessary) their family profile..
3.Study their Rx and inquire #TheirUnderstanding of their medication.
4. Correct him if needed. Add a word or two to optimize the effect like: Drink plenty of water, Take morning and night medicine before 9am and 9 pm, help him to time the afternoon dose etc
4. Note down his Name contact No. while dispensing. Give your contact No. and your availability.
5. Take a social call after 2 days inquiring his health status, medication, family health and talk to his / her spouse on medication regimen.
6. Make sure to inquire about kids well being and remind on next immunization date.
And close the talk with a pep talk.
