Pharmacists are embedded key players in the health landscape of their communities and are trusted for patient-centred, comprehensive, timely advice. The accessibility of pharmacy means that the knowledge and skills of community pharmacists are extensively sought by everyone from teenagers to new parents, to older adults and everyone in between. This handbook will further strengthen their essential role within the community to provide optimal patient care and support informed self-care. This publication serves as a ready-to-use reference document covering different aspects of the management of common URTIs in the community setting. Throughout the various sections, guidelines, algorithms and summary tables, this handbook is meant to support pharmacists in promoting respiratory well-being, developing a thorough understanding of commonly encountered URTIs, and navigating through both nonpharmacological and pharmacological management options.
