World Pharmacist Day is celebrated on September 25 every year. The theme of this year's World Pharmacist's Day is ”Pharmacy: Always trusted for your health”.
The Covid-1 epidemic has provoked epidemics and infodemic mistrust around it. The trust barometer has seen that distrust of social leaders has increased and distrust on all data sources is at record highs.
In times of uncertainty and when vaccine hesitation becomes a major obstacle, public confidence in pharmacy is more important than ever.
Trust requires three elements: positive relationships, competence, and consistency.

Positive Relationships It takes time to listen to our real interest in our patients and their needs, as well as our extra efforts during the Covid-1 epidemic to help us make meaningful connections and build positive relationships.
Eligibility We usually complete a four-year Masters of Pharmacy degree or doctorate in pharmacy, followed by a pre-registration year/internship. Once registered, we receive lifelong learning or subsequent training to become more specialized.
Compatibility As the most accessible healthcare provider in many parts of the world, working on-premises that work longer than other healthcare facilities, we and our pharmacy are able to demonstrate our expertise and care.
Many patient-pharmacist relationships are based on beliefs built over time. People believe in our advice. They believe in maintaining our privacy. More and more governments are trusting us to provide a wide range of other services, such as vaccines and testing. The healthcare system trusts us to find solutions to the lack of trust. There are many more examples.
