| Abstract: | A poster presentation regarding supplementary pharmacist prescribing and point-of-care testing in community pharmacy. Introduction: Studies indicated that supplementary prescribing would be most appropriate for the local scenario. These claims were supported by studies carried out in 2012 and 2013 where 82 % of pharmacists and 87 % of the general public were in favour of pharmacists extending their role to include prescribing in collaboration with physicians respectively. Aims: To provide an efficient pharmacist supplementary prescribing model for conditions which may be identified and managed through the use of point-of-care tests (POCT) such as diabetes mellitus and hypertension in adults. |
