| Abstract: | Pharmacist-led point-of-care testing (POCT) in community pharmacy can support timely screening, patient education, monitoring and referral, strengthening pharmacists’ contribution to accessible, decentralised and patient-centred care. Ferritin testing provides a practical example of how such a model may be implemented in community pharmacy. Aim: To evaluate the contribution of pharmacist-led ferritin POCT to patient care by: • Developing a structured service framework • Assessing implementability of the framework in a community pharmacy setting |
