It is important to note the type of community we hope to create through this blog. This online forum is a perfect opportunity for us to unite all members of the pharmacy profession with different interests and experiences. The beauty of engaging pharmacists, pharmacy technicians and all other pharmacy professionals across all practicing disciplines is the vast array of opinions. It’s not often that experts in pharmacy across practice areas are provided with an opportunity to engage with each other, which is the beauty of a blog. In order to make sure that The Advocate is a productive forum for opinion, we must first outline the expectations of the community:
