| Abstract: | A poster presentation regarding a point-of-care testing service for H.pylori in community pharmacies. Introduction: Helicobacter pylori is a bacterium present in over 50% of the world’s population, making it one of the most widespread infection in the world, mainly causing stomach problems. The importance of detecting this organism in a community pharmacy setting at the patient’s convenience using point-of-care testing is of extreme relevance in patient management. Aims: • To evaluate the practicality, feasibility and patient acceptance of two serological point-of-care testing kits which detect H.pylori • To determine suitability of the testing kits. |
