Writing assignment on new serives into community pharmacy
I need some assistance with these assignment. new serives into community pharmacy Thank you in advance for the help! During my community externship in the northern territory capital (Darwin), I have learned a lot about the needs of the community. First and foremost, Darwin has about 100,000 people in the area, most of them being indigenous peoples who do not have sufficient access to medications and health care services. Darwin is located at the top end of Australia and most of its roads are flat rolling terrains which go on for long distances. It has a tropical weather with temperatures rising to 30-33 degrees for most of the year. These temperatures are very much conducive to the development of various diseases and bacteria. There is a need therefore to bring forth more health services to this region, more importantly, immunization services. There are many nursing homes in the area and their hospitals are always full and short-staffed. In effect, it is often easier for the residents to go to the pharmacy and buy their medications, rather than waiting in the hospitals or even seen private doctors for their ailments. The role of the community pharmacists is therefore very important in this area. A vaccination program must be made available in most pharmacies in Darwin. The pharmacists in the pharmacy I worked with also expressed the importance of implementing a vaccination program.
