Pharmacists represent the third largest healthcare professional group in the world. The majority of pharmacists practice in private retail pharmacies, few in hospitals and other medical facilities. However, pharmacists are hardly ever mentioned as key health professional. They tend to run under “others”. Pharmacists have been a neglected healthcare workforce. Yet, pharmacists can make a unique contribution to the outcome of drug therapy, to their patients’ quality of life and to public health. Pharmacists have a critical role to play and a gap to fill in the health workforce.
