Prawne determinanty funkcjonowania aptek ogólnodostępnych a bezpieczeństwo pacjenta
Legal Determinants of the Operation of Community Pharmacies and Patient Safety

Summary/Abstract: Granting a pharmacy a special legal status by recognizing it as a public health facility where authorized persons provide pharmaceutical services, as well as a place of pharmaceutical care and professional tasks by pharmacists, places this enterprise in the sphere of significant influence of the state and its authorities. It also requires the use of different criteria for assessing the activity of this category of entrepreneurs, and not only limiting ourselves to the profit criterion. The change that took place in connection with the entry into force of the Act on the Pharmacy Profession, relating to the scope of services and benefits provided by generally accessible pharmacies, confirmed the role and tasks of the pharmacy as a public health facility, filling the gap in the health care system and responding to its needs related to shortages of medical personnel and overload of the healthcare system. It is therefore justified to ask whether the guarantees of patient safety have been provided at a satisfactory level.
