🌟Roundtable Meeting – Development of Diabetes Management in Community Pharmacy in Hong Kong 🌟
We are delighted to share that the Jockey Club PHARM+ Community Medication Service Network, initiated and funded by The Hong Kong Jockey Club Charities Trust, has successfully hosted the Roundtable Meeting on the topic “Development of Diabetes Management in Community Pharmacy” in Hong Kong on 31 August 2026.
As Hong Kong continues to strengthen primary healthcare through the Primary Healthcare Blueprint, the role of community pharmacists is evolving beyond medication supply — towards becoming an accessible clinical support point in the community.
The roundtable brought together more than 30 pharmacy service providers and healthcare stakeholders to co-design an integrated diabetes service model in community pharmacy, with a focus on practical clinical pathways, interprofessional collaboration, and sustainable service development.
💬Dr Joyce Ching, Chairman of Health In Action, shared on “Breaking Boundaries: Reimagining Community Pharmacy as a Clinical Hub for Diabetes Care”, highlighting the importance of lifestyle medicine, patient engagement, and the unique accessibility of pharmacists in supporting people living with diabetes.
We are grateful to all participants for their valuable insights and active exchange. These discussions will help shape a more coordinated, accessible and evidence-based approach to diabetes management in the community.
Together, we continue to advance the role of community pharmacy as a trusted partner in primary healthcare, supporting better health outcomes for people living with chronic diseases in Hong Kong. 💊💪
