However, the policy and social implications of clinical services in community pharmacies are not well described. The purpose of this scoping review was to identify these implications. We searched Pubmed and Embase, from inception to March 2019, as well as grey literature for publications that discussed policy (e.g. pharmacy model and pharmacist status) or social (e.g. role of pharmacists and interprofessional collaboration) implications of clinical services. Publications had to address clinical services provided by pharmacists in community settings that target the global long-term care of patients. We extracted data related to the implications and classified them into themes thereafter.

Two themes emerged from policy implications implementation and chother. The context of community pharmacy is not well suited to these changes in practice. To investigate community pharmacists' knowledge about COVID-19 and their preparedness for the pandemic. This cross-sectional online survey was conducted (in community pharmacies in the United Arab Emirates) over 3 weeks (24 May 2020 to 14 June 2020). A proportionate random sample of 491 participants was invited to take part. The SPSS version 26 was used for data management and analysis. The majority of participants (n = 400) had good knowledge about COVID-19 and high level of preparedness for the pandemic control. Most pharmacists agreed (212, 53.0%) or strongly agreed (91, 22.8%) that they have a major role in the management of the ongoing crisis. Most participants had good awareness about the most common methods of COVID-19 transmission (359, 89.7%) and symptoms encountered (368, 92.0%). However, approximately a quart
