Medicines information
(MI) has developed as a specialty of hospital pharmacy within the UK National
Health Service (NHS), and is mirrored by similar service developments in
advanced healthcare systems in most of the developed world, including Europe,
the USA and Australasia. However, the models adopted vary according to the
health systems and practices in a particular country. Although most MI services
are provided by pharmacists, as part a hospital pharmacy service, there are
models where doctors, nurses and other technical staff have a more dominant
role than in the UK. This chapter will focus on the provision and practice of
MI in the UK, much of which is transferable to other countries.
