Guidance on meals and chewing is needed along with medication counseling at community pharmacies participating in the integrated community care system. We conducted a questionnaire survey into the potential of pharmacists and registered dietitians cooperating for the purpose of producing high quality guidance for patients. All participants belonging to the FORALL Co. Ltd. answered the questionnaire. 27.8% of pharmacists and 52.6% of registered dietitians conducted nutrition counseling in the course of a week at our pharmacies. These results showed that the system promoting cooperation between these professionals is important and necessary because the availability of home consultations with registered dietitians is limited.
