Pharmacy- a vital link in the chain of healthcare
Pharmacy is a health profession in which pharmacists provide care for their
patients as one member of the health care team. This care focuses on the
patient from the perspective of drug therapy. The pharmacist is responsible
to identify, prevent and resolve patients' drug therapy problems. Specific
activities include: taking medication histories, identifying goals for drug
therapy, providing recommendations and education to patients regarding self-medication,
providing recommendations to other health care providers on drug therapy,
working with patients to maximize benefits and minimize adverse effects
of drug therapy, maintaining patient drug profiles, counselling patients
on prescribed medication, monitoring drug interactions, adverse drug reactions
and patients compliance with drug treatment. Other activities include the
provision of information on drugs to patients and other health professionals,
the preparation of suitable materials for use as medicines from natural
and synthetic sources, the compounding of drugs and the dispensing of suitable
medication.
These pharmacists are frequently the first contact in the health care system
and as such, are critical to ensuring that patients receive optimal drug
therapy.
The pharmaceutical profession will have a considerable impact on science
and health care during this decade and beyond. Students pursuing this course
can look forward to a rewarding array of opportunities after completion.
In this new era of health care, an emphasis is placed on critical thinking,
problem solving and communication skills. The Bachelors degree in Pharmacy
will help develop these essential skills and provide a strong foundation
in the ever-growing field of pharmaceutical sciences.
Pharmacists today have more career choices than ever before. While dispensing
medications is still a cornerstone practice area, pharmacists can carve
out their own careers in a wide range of career opportunities. The majority
enter community pharmacy practice. Hospital pharmacy also provides an interesting
challenge for pharmacists, particularly in view of the expanding role within
the clinical setting. The pharmaceutical industry provides opportunities
for pharmacists in the fields of sales and marketing, production, research
and quality control.
