Polish pharmacy practice and the distribution of medicinal products in some European\ncountries are still going through a significant transformation. Changes postulated by the pharmacists\nshould strengthen their role, and the place of community pharmacies in the health care system\nin the context ofââ?¬â?among othersââ?¬â?the introduction and popularization of pharmaceutical care.\nSubsequently, these efforts may essentially ensure the professional independence of the pharmacists.\nThe introduction of pharmaceutical care to the pharmacy practice in all European countries will help\nto improve the quality of patient care and treatment outcomes, and will lead to a better allocation of\navailable resources. Herewith, we present an important voice in the international debate, showing\nthe current changes in the pharmacy practice in Poland, a European Union (EU)-member from 2004.\nIndeed, this paper presents the perspective of the country in which the position of pharmaceutical\ncare is not well-established, and the role of the pharmacist is still limited to dispensing medicinal\nproducts, more than decade after it joined EU.
