[Exceptional dispensing. When?] / La dispensación excepcional, ¿para cuándo?

Exceptional dispensing is "the possibility of safeguarding the spirit of the prescription by the pharmacist in which, when faced with an emergency situation or need, he/she dispenses the most appropriate medication within the real possibilities available in order to guarantee the patient the availability and appropriate use of his/her medication according to the patient and his/her needs".For different reasons, there are problems with the supply of some medicines, which is a problem for the patient.SEFAC has decided to investigate this problem. In this issue we publish the results of a study carried out in November 2021 in two autonomous communities that serves as a pilot for another study called RISK FACTORS THAT HINDER ACCESS TO MEDICATIONS IN THE DISPENSING IN THE COMMUNITY PHARMACY (FRAMEFAC) whose results will be presented at the next congress of community pharmacists (Las Palmas de Gran Canaria, May 2024).Subsequently, SEFAC will make a concrete proposal to solve this problem by means of exceptional dispensing, as is already happening in other countries in our environment.

Especificaciones del servicio de cesación tabáquica / Specifications for the smoking cessation service

En abril de 2013, la Sociedad Española de Farmacia Familiar y Comunitaria (SEFAC) presentó su propuesta sobre servicios profesionales farmacéuticos (SPF) cuyo fin es cubrir las necesidades relacionadas tanto con la atención de los pacientes que utilizan medicamentos, como con la salud pública. Esta propuesta ofrece un planteamiento sobre la implantación y desarrollo de los SPF con el objetivo de impulsar su prestación por las farmacias comunitarias en los próximos años. De acuerdo con dicha propuesta todos los SPF que constituyen el catálogo de servicios contarán con un documento de especificaciones. El objeto de este documento de especificaciones, aprobado por la Junta Directiva de SEFAC el 20 de abril de 2014, es definir y caracterizar el servicio de cesación tabáquica con una doble finalidad: - Ayudar al farmacéutico comunitario y a sus representantes en el ofrecimiento, prestación, difusión, financiación y concertación de este servicio. - Servir de guía a los farmacéuticos comunitarios que desean implantar un servicio de cesación tabáquica en la farmacia o elaborar un procedimiento normalizado de trabajo para su realización.
