Clinical Pharmacy

"The fundamental goal of pharmacy services is to optimize patient outcomes through collaborative work within multidisciplinary teams to achieve the responsible use of medications across all settings...The practice model is shaped by the ethos of patient-centred care and uses a team-based approach that involves the patient. It is designed so that patients receive the most clinically appropriate, safe, and cost-effective therapy, supported by the best available evidence, to optimally meet the patient’s needs on the basis of indication and effectiveness. The partnerships that develop are mutually beneficial to the healthcare system, healthcare providers, patients, and their families."
