Pharmaceutical Care

Opportunity

From Mr A. G. M. Madge, FRPharmS

SIR,-Congratulations on your editorial (PJ, October, 28, p637) which succinctly portrays the present problems of hitching our star to dispensing with the future ahead and the opportunities. Pharmaceutical care is growing rapidly here and in the world, and we must be part of it. The Government has accepted the enhanced position of the pharmacist, recognition not only of an important position to be played but a recognised equal in the health team. This opportunity must be grasped and encouraged to accept the responsibilities to ensure a future for pharmacy.
