Dr Sarah Dineen-Griffin, Australia and Dr Sham Moodley, ExCo members FIP Community Pharmacy SectionIntroduction
This session delves into the dynamic intersection of patient behaviour and the integration of AI in pharmacy practice. As patient behaviour evolves with online health information seeking there is a need to understand how this will impact face-to-face and virtual interactions with pharmacists. As pharmacists play a pivotal role in health care, understanding how these factors shape patient interactions and healthcare decisions is crucial. This session aims to explore insights, strategies and practical approaches for pharmacists to adapt their practice to the evolving landscape of patient behaviour and AI integration.
