“…Some physicians may be comfortable signing off on a collaborative practice agreement with pharmacists in which pharmacists make changes in drug therapy based on a physician approved protocol. 23 Other physicians may not be as comfortable with collaborative practice agreements, yet they will accept pharmacists sending in written recommendations. As pharmacist preceptors and students meet with physicians, agreeing on what each other's role and function is will be important to maintain collaboration.…”

Pharmacy students should be given opportunities to learn and practice interpersonal communication skills during their community advanced pharmacy practice experience (APPE). Preceptors have the responsibility of setting the stage for the pharmacy students during their initial encounter. During this orientation to the site, students should become familiar with the history of the practice, the types of services provided, and the staff members. Once the orientation is completed, preceptors can develop strategies for incorporating the students into the practice's patient care activities. Students should participate in patient counseling, interviewing, and educational sessions. Also, students should participate in collaborative work with other health care providers. To ensure the development of communication skills in pharmacy students, preceptors can incorporate the teaching process ''see one, do one, teach one'' into their teaching activities. By following these strategies, preceptors can effectively and positively impact the communication skills of their students.

“…The reviews are then forwarded to the patients' GPs for assessment and implementation as required (Appendix 1). 2 Efforts to improve patient care have focused on developing collaborative approaches in which pharmacists and GPs use their specialised training to make significant contributions to the management of their patients. 3 Studies have shown that coordinated care between physicians and pharmacists can improve patient outcomes, e.g.…”

Aims:To explore the perceptions of Australian general practitioners (GPs) towards extended pharmacy services, and to investigate the modes and extent of collaboration between community pharmacists and GPs. Method: Semi-structured face-to-face and telephone interviews were conducted on a purposive sample of GPs from Sydney and surrounding areas. The data were thematically analysed, using qualitative data analysis software. Results: 23/68 (34%) GPs approached, agreed to participate in the interviews. The respondents practised in different settings (private/medical centre/specialised settings, rural/suburban/city areas), had been in professional practice for periods ranging from 6 months to several decades and included both female and male practitioners. Support for pharmacist provision of services varied. GP perceptions were mostly positive for home medicines review (HMR), information provision and monitoring. However, most GPs did not favour pharmacists' provision of screening and immunisation services. Most respondents believed that GPpharmacist collaboration would be beneficial to both the patient and the GP. However, despite this, collaboration was minimal in all extended pharmacy services discussed except HMR. Conclusion: HMR is the extended pharmacy service most widely accepted by GPs and has proved to be an effective platform for inter-professional collaboration. Considering the factors that promote effective collaboration in HMR will position us better to improve the GP-pharmacist collaboration crucial for expanding other extended pharmacy services.

“…In 1996, Shefcheck and Thomas 14 reported that 16 states had laws authorizing pharmacists to initiate and modify drug therapy in concert with prescribers, and 16 other states were pursuing such laws. Ferro et al, 15 in 1998, reported that 21 states had pharmacist CDTM laws. More recently, in 2003, Punekar et al 16 reported that 32 states had such laws.…”
