Lead section

Pharmacists, at their core, are medication experts. Not all pharmacists are actively engaged in providing "education and counseling" or managing "general health issues". Many pharmacists, for example, work in administrative settings. The definition should reflect this diversity, rather than narrowly hone in on a subset, albeit a popular one, within the pharmacist profession. I have therefore reverted the recent changes to the lead section.―Biochemistry🙴❤ 11:37, 13 November 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Change the definition

Hi wiki guys! I would like your opinion and your corrections for this definition. I think that this definition suits better to the real responsibilities of the pharmacist nowadays. Here it is:

A pharmacist is a health professional who deals with the composition, properties, distribution and use of medicines. The pharmacist provides pharmaceutical information to patients and health professionals, as well as primary health care services, in order to ensure Public Health.

Not all pharmacists provide "pharmaceutical information to patients and health professionals". E.g., there are pharmacists in management positions. The current definition in the lead section is sufficient. ―Biochemistry🙴❤ 00:57, 16 November 2020 (UTC)[reply]
