PIZARRO, Ângela Maria Vilaça Pereira de Araújo; MARTINS, Maria Rosário O. e SIMOES, Jorge Almeida. Exploring the policies applied to pharmaceutical care practice for type 2 diabetes over the last decade in european community pharmacies. Port J Public Health [online]. 2021, vol.39, n.2, pp.103-118. Epub 30-Nov-2021. ISSN 2504-3137. https://doi.org/10.1159/000519498.
In the last decade (2010-2020), more than half of European countries have improved their health policies within the primary care for type 2 diabetes mellitus. Community pharmacies have been and could continue to be essential actors in this evolution of fighting the disease by providing a set of pharmacotherapeutic follow-up services for the person with diabetes. These services, designated by the Pharmaceutical Group of the European Union as “diabetes management” and “glucose measurement”, have aimed to optimize adherence to therapy and improve health outcomes. However, to follow the European guidelines of Good Pharmacy Practice, providing these services implies having a normative framework or a legal basis. Thus, this study sought to analyze the normative and regulatory framework on which community pharmacies in 28 European countries were based on providing this health care over the last decade.
