Addressing social determinants of health: exploring the role of the community pharmacy team
Health outcomes are influenced by social factors rather than medicines. These can include: social isolation, mental illness, homelessness, and food insecurity all common in deprived areas.
Research Opportunities
Summary
Healthcare services are less available in deprived areas, but such areas have good availability of community pharmacies which provide NHS services and are easy to access. Given this there is an opportunity for community pharmacy staff to help with these issues.
This would be a new role for the community pharmacy and so we need to understand better what this role would look like and what additional training may be required for it.
