Depends on what hospital you are at and how you define "clinical." Hospitals employ two different types of pharmacists: dispensing pharmacists and clinical pharmacists. Dispensing pharmacists work in the actual pharmacy and read the orders and prepare the medication for the patients. Clinical pharmacist round on the floors with the doctors and ensure that patients are on the best medication. Clinical pharmacy jobs usually require a two year post graduate residency.
I think so, but am not sure.
A clinical pharmacist does talk to the patient regarding their medications and will work with the patient's physician to advice on all medications the patient is taking. Depending on the arrangement between the physician and the pharmacist the pharmacist may be allowed to alter certain medications the patient is taking. This is only allowed for certain cases and usually just involves changing the dosage of a certain medication. This also depends upon the State since several states have different laws regarding the range of care a clinical pharmacist is allowed to give.
Hospital Pharmacy focuses on drug dispensing where as clinical pharmacist are involved in working out the patient care & advicing Doctors and Nurses.
Alright... so what would the doctors do if there were no medicines??? The pharmacists are the backbone for the health sciences... No Pharmacist, no medicines...
