Pharmacists are medicine experts. They are actively involved in patient care, either in hospitals or in the community and work to ensure that patient treatment therapies are optimised.
As health professionals pharmacists are part of a healthcare team. They inform and educate patients so that medication is used in a safe and effective way.
