This book offers a comprehensive exploration of the evolving role of pharmacists, focusing on the concept of care as a fundamental priority in today's healthcare landscape. It examines the trust and communication dynamics between pharmacists and patients, highlighting the critical relationship of care that emerges. In the wake of COVID-19, the interaction between healthcare professionals and the public has undergone significant transformation globally. Notably, in Italy, 2024 saw pivotal changes in drug distribution legislation, positioning community pharmacies as key healthcare hubs. This book delves into these shifts, addressing the challenges of patient marginality and fragility, as well as the self-care necessary for pharmacists to prevent burnout. Through targeted research, including a focus group with pharmacy students from the University of Siena and interviews with SIFO members, the book provides insights into how the profession is perceived by new generations and the anticipated changes resulting from AI collaboration. This essential read is tailored for pharmacy students and practicing pharmacists, offering valuable perspectives on the future of their profession.
