    AbstractThe COVID-19 pandemic is placing huge strain on health systems and professionals. Emergency departments and their pharmacy services have been the first to face this challenge before any other pharmacy units. This article provides a description of the experience of two public hospitals  located in the Autonomous Community of Madrid, Spain. Team working and  reciprocal trust have made it possible to meet the unprecedented demand for  health services and has facilitated rapid decision making. Strategies have been  developed to guarantee the availability, distribution and safe use of medications. Other strategies have included favoring communication within Emergency  Departments pharmacy services, and between these services and Emergency  Departments during the pandemic. Multidisciplinary cooperation and information  sharing have traditionally formed the base for efficient and quality work, along  with solid technologies that guarantee a safe use of medications. The crucial role of information and communication technologies during the pandemic may give  rise to a new model of pharmaceutical care, which should not replace face-to- face Emergency Department pharmacist support and advice. Promoting the re- humanization of healthcare and pharmacy services is essential. An adequate  technical training and the development of abilities such as flexibility, planning  and coordination skills, and an assertive communication and management of  emotions will be key to the successful management of unimaginable settings in  the future.Copyright AULA MEDICA EDICIONES 2014.
