Good Pharmaceutical Practices in Belgian Primary Care Pharmacies

Abstract

Since 2009, good pharmaceutical practices in Belgian primary care pharmacies have been codified. A review of the requirements that fall under these good practices is proposed, particularly with regard to the pharmacy staff and their training, equipment, supply, compounded drugs and care. The presentation focuses particularly on the new provisions that improve the pharmaceutical care provided to patients and its follow-up (shared pharmaceutical dossier, reference pharmacist, electronic prescriptions, continuing education, etc.) It also proposes different ways to teach good pharmacist practices to students
