Clinical Pharmacists Kenya

Clinical Pharmacists Kenya
Clinical pharmacy is the branch of pharmacy in which pharmacists provide patient care that optimizes the use of medication and promotes health, wellness, and disease prevention. Clinical pharmacists care for patients in all health care settings but the clinical pharmacy movement initially began inside hospitals and clinics.
Clinical pharmacists have extensive education in the biomedical, pharmaceutical, socio-behavioural and clinical sciences. Most clinical pharmacists have a Doctor of Pharmacy (Pharm.D.) degree and many have completed one or more years of post-graduate training.

The existence of clinical pharmacists in medical rounds could support physicians in optimizing pharmacotherapy. This novel profession in Kenya extends its diversions to good manufacturing practices, procurement/preparation/distribution of medication, reporting ADRs/ ADEs and on the whole to a very promising aspect of patient healthcare service. The state of clinical pharmacy in Kenya is in the transformational state showing serious positive promising changes in the past couple of years.

Role of Clinical Pharmacists Kenya
clinical pharmacist works directly with medical professionals and patients, usually in a medical center, hospital or health care unit. The job of the clinical pharmacist is to determine the best medications for a given symptom for a patient at a given time.
