Community pharmacist interventions in ear health: a scoping review.

Improving ear health of both Indigenous and non-Indigenous peoples through services provided in community pharmacy presents as an important opportunity for rural pharmacists. Pharmacists are accessible and thus well placed to improve ear healthcare and resultant quality of life for these vulnerable populations. This review has identified factors required to effectively develop ear health models of care in community pharmacy including a pharmacist training program, continuous funding to ensure sustainability and support from pharmacy stakeholders and the community.
