The Dispensary

Pharmacy practice is guided by a code of ethics, which forms the fundamental basis for the roles and responsibilities as pharmacists.

As part of the health care team model, pharmacists play an integral part by maintaining relationships with patients and other health professionals to promote the best health outcomes.

Pharmacists focus on the management and utilisation of medicines, taking into account a patient-centred approach to medicine information and counselling.
