Sorry to say that in Italy pharmacists are not allowed even to
"touch" patients.
Hard discussions have taken place also for base blood analisys, just for the
fact that pharmacists are not allowed to make any operation on patients. Also
wounds medication or injections are black-listed.
We can administer medicaments just in case of life risk for the patient and in
case any other solution is not open, but in this case we are behaving like any
normal citizen.
Unfortunately, we have been not able to reserved ourselves a useful
professional
space for now and the future. Let's hope for the best.
