What is Pharmacy?

Pharmacy is part of the healthcare profession that links the basic health sciences with the clinical application of drug treatment. Simply put, it is the art of practice to ensure the safe and effective use of drugs. The traditional scope of pharmacy is all about the compounding and dispensing of therapeutic agents. However, modern pharmacy emphasises the provision of optimal pharmaceutical care to patients, implying a responsible provision of drug therapy to improve a patient’s life expectancy and quality of life as definite outcomes as shown below:
  1. The treatment of diseases;
  2. The elimination or reduction of symptoms;
  3. Arresting or slowing the disease process; and
  4. Disease prevention/ health promotion.

As the healthcare industry develops a strategy towards the individualised rational use of therapeutic agents, the role and responsibilities of pharmacists grow in importance day by day.
 
Role of Pharmacists

Pharmacists are essentially the experts on drugs. They work as a part of a multidisciplinary healthcare team to provide quality pharmaceutical care to patients, such as providing clinical pharmacy services, recommending appropriate drug choices and monitoring outcomes of drug therapies. Pharmacists are able to practise in a wide variety of workplaces, including community pharmacies, hospitals, clinics, nursing homes, pharmaceutical industries and regulatory agencies. Pharmacists can specialise in various areas of practice, from haematology/oncology, infectious diseases, drug information, critical care to paediatrics, and many more.
