changed dramatically, as has the
power of medicines to cure and to
help people.

• Research methods and medicine

regulation and control have also
continued to evolve, and last but not
least so have people’s views and
attitudes toward the use of
medicines

 Global megatrends,

 Health care reform and

 Trends in the development and use of

medicines.

 Conclusion

• Educating people about the prevention of ill-health and

encouraging them to act upon this information is a complex
process.

• A social pharmacy perspective can help pharmacists

understand how people relate to health, illness and disease.

• It can also contribute to an understanding of the political context

in which policies on the promotion of health and the prevention
of disease are developed and implemented.
