Abstract : 

Referrals from community pharmacy to health centres and hospitals have always been a moot topic without set criteria. This depends to a large extent on who treats us.
To improve patient care, it is a duty of all health professionals to strive for correct interdisciplinary coordination. With this in mind, when semFYC and SEFAC members proposed a joint course to us we realised how little was written on this alleged coordination and this instigated us to write this chapter, which in turn led SEFAC to lead this document. We hope this will be useful for you.
This chapter is, to the best of our knowledge, one of the first global documents that tries to encompass the hypertension patient’s follow up from community pharmacy with some clear recommendations for its management under actual conditions.
