The Role of a Pharmacist
Currently, there are multiple medications available to treat a disease. There are also a number of over the counter (OTC) drugs on the market. These new drugs and drug substances have transformed the role of the pharmacist. Pharmacists are professionals who can provide advice, prescribe the right medication and help you live healthier lives. They also conduct research and clinical trials.
Pharmacists are also qualified to perform simple healthcare procedures. They work in a number of sectors including hospital pharmacies, drugstores and clinics. Pharmacists also contribute to improving patient outcomes and reduce costs. They can provide advice to patients and prescribers about how to use medicines in order to reduce the risk of side effects, addiction and chronic pain. They also contribute to the development of policies relating to the supply of medicines.
The scope of pharmacy includes the synthesis of chemical compounds of medicinal value and the analysis of medicinal agents. It also includes the cultivation of plants used as drugs. Traditionally, pharmacists have prepared pills and plasters. However, this role has changed since the introduction of new drug substances during World War II.
The Pharmaceutical Society of Great Britain was established in 1841. Since then, colleges of pharmacy have been set up in many countries. These colleges operate as independent organizations. They are responsible for registering the profession and for regulating pharmacists. They also promote legislation and quality pharmacist care.
Pharmacists also collaborate with other medical professionals to ensure optimal health outcomes for patients. The aging population has led to an increased need for geriatric pharmacists, long-term care pharmacists and consultant pharmacists.
The pharmacist also conducts research and clinical trials and has knowledge about the physiological effects of drugs on the human body. They can identify the mode of action of drugs, predict drug interactions, ascertain the effectiveness of drugs and recommend treatments for patients. They can also tailor medications to a patient’s genetic makeup. They can provide advice to patients, prescribers and other health professionals on how to use medicines to reduce the risk of chronic pain, acute pain, infections and other illnesses. They also provide patient care and counseling.
Pharmacists can also perform research in their workplace. They can conduct scientific research and apply knowledge about drug interactions, as well as apply their knowledge about law, ethics and the supply of medicines. They can also participate in patient rounds in hospitals. They can also help elderly patients with complicated medication requirements and reduce the financial burden of their care.
This proposed model is a starting point for standardizing pharmacy concepts and practices. It also provides a framework for dialogue and clarity in the sector. The model has implications for policy, practice, education and future research. It also includes the need for consistency in the terminology and nomenclature used in pharmacy. The model is also expected to provide a platform for multicountry comparisons of policy interventions. It should also be validated by a large number of pharmacy leaders from around the world.
