Background:
A project completed in 2015, undertaken by the University of Otago’s School of Pharmacy, to develop a pilot of public drop-in community-based Medicines and Health Literacy Clinics (MHLCs) with final-year pharmacy students at the University of Otago.
The project aimed to provide a community based patient-centred placement opportunity for final year students to better understand adult health literacy, and to provide an environment where students and academic pharmacists could interact, while illustrating a new example of activities possible in clinical care settings.
