Pharmaciens et coordination des soins primaires en France : quels enjeux ?

On the other hand, it develops an initial reflection on the levers and obstacles that could explain in France, the poor integration of pharmacists but also on the challenges of a stronger presence of these professionals in the coordination of primary care.
