Social Science & Medicine, 1986, vol. 23, issue 3, 323-332

Abstract: Drawing upon preliminary research findings, this paper considers whether pharmacists in Britain face a crisis in their occupational status and identity as a result of changes in their work and market situations. It further examines some of the ways in which they are responding to the challenges and opportunities presented. The paper also comments on the utility of the concepts of 'reprofessionalization' and 'occupational imperialism' in the study of British pharmacy.
