Pharmacy is a pivotal pillar of the healthcare system, providing focused medical services essential for improving patient's well-being. This vital medical service revolves around the science and practice of medication management, ensuring that individuals receive the right drugs, at the right doses, for the right reasons, and in the safest possible manner. Pharmacists are highly trained professionals who play a crucial role in ensuring that patients not only have access to the medications they need but also understand how to use them effectively.
Types of Pharmacy Services
- Clinical Pharmacy: Clinical pharmacists work directly with healthcare teams to provide patient-centered care. They review medical records, assess medication regimens, and collaborate with other healthcare professionals to tailor treatments to individual patients' needs. Their expertise helps improve therapeutic outcomes and minimize potential drug-related problems.
- Community Pharmacy: These pharmacists work in community settings such as retail pharmacies, offering frontline access to essential medications. They provide counselling on prescription and over-the-counter drugs, making sure patients understand how to use them safely and effectively.
- Hospital Pharmacy: Hospital pharmacists manage medication distribution within healthcare institutions. They work closely with doctors and nurses to ensure patients receive the right medications and doses during their stay. Hospital pharmacists are also responsible for drug preparation and sterile compounding.
Pharmacy Treatment Services
