WHAT I S C L I N I C A L P H A R M A C Y A N D WH E R E D O E S I T H A P P E N ? One final point about ‘clinical pharmacy’: spending time on wards does not necessarily guarantee that you are doing ‘clinical pharmacy’. What is this ‘clinical pharmacy’ and what does it mean to be a clinical pharmacist? We believe that ALL pharmacy is clinical pharmacy, whether you are on the wards or working in distribution, or anywhere else. Clinical pharmacy happens in a person’s head – it is the thought behind what you are doing. This means that every pharmacist is a clinical pharmacist, whatever sector he or she is working in, and whatever setting he or she is practising in. Make sure that, wherever you are and whatever you are doing, you are training yourself to be a ‘clinical pharmacist’.

nanotechnology nanotechnology is the science of matter with sizes in the range of 1 – 100 nm (1 – 100 �10 − 9 m). These are scales of large molecules; for example, the sizes of some familiar matter are DNA, 1 – 2 nm; virus, 3 – 50 nm; and red blood cell, ∼ 300 nm. At these nano scales, matter behaves quite differently than it would at the macro level to which we are accustomed. Properties such as conductivity, magnetism, melting and boiling points, and reactivity may be dissimilar at the nano and macro scales due to the quantum mechanical behavior of small structures at molecular dimensions. nanotechnology provides a means to manufacture particles with very high surface area to mass ratio and, together with their unique properties, may provide opportunities for more surface interactions and biochemical reactions to ensue. One use of nanotechnology is for drug delivery devices. Nano cages with embedded drugs can be delivered to their targets with high specifi city and enable interaction...

The aim of all stages of pharmacy training, including initial and post-registration education, is to ensure that pharmacists and pharmacy technicians are capable and practise ethically throughout their careers in whatever context. Training and CPD should result in a pharmacy team with the knowledge, skills, attitudes and values that enable them to discharge their responsibilities to patients, other users of pharmacy services, colleagues and society in general. These principles are based on the understanding that pharmacy education is capability-based and people-centred and must reflect the professionalism required by all members of the pharmacy team at all stages of their career. It is important to note that while the principles are generic, they relate to all stages of pharmacy education, the whole range of education providers and both public and private sector employers of pharmacy training teams. How they will be applied will be proportional and appropriate to specific sectors and ...
