Why these pharmacists want to sell you fewer pills
In an article in Het Nieuwsblad, Charlotte Sulmon from Apotheek Charlotte Sulmon and Patricia Carpentier from Apotheek Carpentier explain how they are working with Yoboo to promote a new role for pharmacists: that of lifestyle pharmacist.
Both pharmacists completed the Yoboo training programme and now support their patients not only with medication, but also with advice on nutrition, exercise, sleep and other lifestyle factors. The Yoboo dashboard also allows them to monitor their patients and support them in making sustainable lifestyle changes.
In the article, they explain why pills are not always the solution and how pharmacists can play an important role in preventive healthcare.
