Abstract
Although there is evidence that collaboration between doctors and phar macists results in the more cost-effective use of medicines, the input of pharmacists into the prescribing process remains informal and larg ely retrospective. This article discusses the current problems associa ted with the prescribing process and suggests a framework to formalise the input of pharmacists.
