Introduction: Clinical Pharmacy and therapeutics

Getting started with Clinical pharmacy, unlike the discipline of pharmacy, is a comparatively recent and variably implemented form of practice. It encourages pharmacists and support staff to shift their focus from a solely product-oriented role towards more direct engagement with patients and the problems they encounter with medicines.

Over the past 20 years, there has been an emerging consensus that the practice of clinical pharmacy itself should grow from a collection of patient-related functions to a process in which all actions are undertaken with the intention of achieving explicit outcomes for the patient. In doing so, clinical pharmacy moves to embrace the philosophy of pharmaceutical care This chapter provides a practical framework within which a knowledge and understanding of therapeutics and practice can be best utilized.

It describes a pragmatic approach to applying both the principles of pharmaceutical care and the specific skills of clinical pharmacy in a manner that does not depend on the setting of the practitioner or patient.
