title: The development and implementation of pharmaceutical care across borders.
abstract: The community pharmacist is an essential professional for a high standard healthcare delivery system. However, many indicators, at the EU level or national level, suggest that the tasks entrusted to him, since the beginning of the 20th century, must ensure a safe and efficient treatment to patient. In several member states, the legislation has recently been changed and community pharmacists in Europe have redefined their role in the healthcare delivery system in order to focus more on patients' care. In France, the new reform concerning hospitals and the report on community pharmacy, written by social inspectors for the government, in some aspects, contains propositions similar to those adopted in Canada.
