Pharmacists to have greater say in patient care
Pharmacists in Scotland will have a more hands-on role in determining the care and medication patients receive, Health Secretary Nicola Sturgeon has announced

Pharmacists will give patients "care plans" for patients with ongoing medical conditions such as high blood pressure or diabetes under the chronic medication service.
