Abstract
Hospital pharmacists are the key stakeholders responsible for medication management and safety in the hospital environment, covering both inpatient and outpatient services and supporting the seamless transition of care for patients moving within the healthcare system. To provide the best treatment for all patients, hospital pharmacists must be able to operate in a complex hospital setting and work collaboratively within multidisciplinary healthcare teams.
The undergraduate education, that every pharmacist has to undergo, provides an excellent background for further specialisation to work in one of the many possible roles within the profession. Specialisation is required to be up-to-date on specific treatment regimens.
In the case of hospital pharmacists, this means being trained to work with patients in situations that are subject to complex medication regimens.
