Pharmacists
About
EASL recognises the important role of pharmacists in the care of patients with liver disease. Through their expertise in medicines optimisation, medication safety, patient counselling, and multidisciplinary collaboration, pharmacists contribute significantly to improving treatment outcomes and enhancing the quality of care. Their involvement across healthcare settings supports the safe and effective use of therapies, promotes adherence, and helps address the complex medication-related needs of people living with liver disease. By working closely with patients and healthcare professionals, pharmacists play a key role in advancing comprehensive, patient-centred liver care.
