About

Christine Bond’s research has been foundational in shaping community pharmacy practice, with a particular focus on the science underpinning the profession and the innovative use of technology to expand access to care. Her most cited work, a 2017 proof-of-concept study on tele-pharmacy in rural Scotland (23 citations), demonstrated the feasibility and acceptability of delivering essential community pharmacy services—including advice, over-the-counter sales, and prescription dispensing—via remote technology. This study provided critical evidence for using tele-pharmacy to bridge healthcare gaps in underserved rural areas, directly influencing policy and practice in remote care delivery. In her 2010 paper, “A science-based profession?” (7 citations), Bond critically examined the scientific foundations of pharmacy, arguing that while the profession is built on a robust pharmacological base, its practice must continually evolve to maintain that scientific rigor. Her work has shaped how researchers and practitioners understand the role of evidence in pharmacy, and her contributions remain influential in discussions on professional identity and the integration of digital health. Bond’s research continues to inspire new models of patient-centred, technology-enabled pharmaceutical care.
