Pharmacy, Alternative & Lifestyle Medicine

Pharmacists are well placed to promote and disseminate medicines, alternative medicine and lifestyle medicine through health. They are accessible, trustworthy, knowledgeable about chronic disease management and prevention, and trained in appropriate communication skills. While health coaching occurs regularly and informally in the pharmacy environment, it is not often offered intentionally with measured progress. Evidence-based dietary and lifestyle practices play a central role in health assessment. Pharmacists are ideally placed to provide health and wellness coaching and have been shown to be effective in delivering lifestyle medicine. While they are the experts in pharmacotherapy, health promotion is the shared responsibility of all healthcare professionals.

We understand the importance of raising awareness of successful practice models. At Wirz & Partner, we are aware of this issue, can address it successfully and are confident that the candidates we recruit will be successful in this role.
