Services linked to clinical specialties

 

In much the same way that clinical specialties are firmly established in medicine and surgery, the same is now true for clinical pharmacy. This has been helped by the manner in which clinical specialties have been managed in hospitals, often divided into divisions or directorates along clinical lines, to which a pharmacist can be attached. Part of the responsibilities for such pharmacists will be strategic, managerial and financial: (1) appropriate governance and risk management procedures; (2) monitoring and auditing the use of medicines; (3) supporting the management of the medicines budget; and (4) contributing to the preparation of business cases for new drugs. The UK Clinical Pharmacy Association is a good source of information on pharmacy input to specific clinical specialties and has a number of active special interest groups accessible via its website.
