Madrid home pharmaceutical care implementation

Overview

The Community of Madrid has introduced new regulations to establish the first home pharmaceutical care system in Spain. Initially announced to assist individuals with reduced mobility or dependency issues, the regulation allows for the delivery of medications and sanitary products by qualified professionals directly to residences.

Following the regulatory framework, public hospitals such as Gregorio Marañón Hospital have begun implementing these services. The program provides in-person visits for adults undergoing home hospitalization, specifically targeting patients with complex medication needs. Pharmacists conduct clinical history reviews and provide guidance on administration techniques, such as the proper use of inhalers, and offer 24-hour telephone support for professional assistance.
