THE International Pharmaceutical Federation (FIP) has published a new report from an international advisory roundtable aiming to obtain a comprehensive understanding of the role of pharmacists in iron deficiency anaemia.
Frontline pharmacists, policy experts, educators and researchers gathered in May this year, with the support of FIP member organisations and the FIP Community Pharmacy Section.
Participants indicated there were many ways in which pharmacists could contribute to helping with anaemia management, with many noting that the condition's prevalence was likely to be underdiagnosed in the community setting.
"Therefore, screening for early detection of anaemia in community practice is encouraged, and this is where the role of pharmacists and pharmacies is crucial," the report said - see fip.org.
