The profession of Pharmacy is rapidly evolving from the “keeper of pharmaceuticals” to the “supplier of pharmaceutical care”. This means that pharmacists, as part of the health care team, are becoming more involved in providing care directly to patients, making recommendations to prescribers, reviewing medication lists and interacting with patients and other health care providers. The role of the pharmacy technician is also expanding as they are soon to be Regulated Health Professionals.
Our hospital employs more than thirty Pharmacy personnel; pharmacists, pharmacy technicians and pharmacy students working together to ensure the right medication gets to the right patient at the right time. Like an Oscar-winning production crew, these highly trained individuals work behind the scenes and on the front line to guarantee that the lead characters (that would be the patients, of course!) get the spotlight.
In a world of increasingly complex medication regimes, the role of the Pharmacy Department has never been more important in the hospital!
