title: The community pharmacist: over qualified dispenser or health professional?
abstract: This paper contributes to the debate introduced in a previous issue of this journal. The current and future roles of community pharmacists are outlined. It is suggested that although elements of their dispensing role are changing, pharmacists continue to have a vital function in the dispensing process. Proposed developments for the future role of community pharmacists in the treatment of minor illness are also discussed.
