Community Pharmacy Marketing in the New Era: A Global Picture of Extended Community Pharmacy Services

Mohamed Azmi Ahmad Hassali, Nazri Nordin and Azmi Sarriff

A chapter in Marketing from IntechOpen

Abstract: The community pharmacists (CPs) are legally responsible to hand out a wide range of ready-made prescription medications to patients. Additionally, CPs are also involving in advocating customers who determine to self-medicate. Interestingly, it is also noted that CPs in developed countries like the United Kingdom, Germany, and Canada have performed more than these services. What are the extended community pharmacy services available? What are the barriers and perceptions of these extended services? It is rationale to explore such issues globally since it might have potential to give some possible course of action to CPs to incorporate more values to the contemporary services.
