Here's an article about this.
Independent pharmacist prescribing in Canada
Excerpt:
Pharmacists could independently prescribe in 7 of 10 provinces, including continuing existing prescriptions (7 provinces), adapting existing prescriptions (4 provinces) and initiating new prescriptions (3 provinces). However, there was significant heterogeneity between provinces in the rules governing each function.
Thanks.
I like this idea because there are very few doctors left that take new patients nowadays. So most people have to sit in a 'first come first serve" medicenter and wait to see a GP.
I remember having to sit and wait for 4 hours once. And to make matters even more frustrating, they no longer allow pharmacies to send a FAX to get permission to refill prescriptions. My GP retired and I really hate being touched by strangers. I think it has a lot to do with abduction experiences, along with other negative experiences I have had in the past.
