Title | Evidence for the outcomes and impact of clinical pharmacy: context of UK hospital pharmacy practice |
Authors | Onatade, R., Appiah, S., Stephens, M. and Garelick, H. |
Abstract | Objectives: The role of clinical pharmacists in hospitals has evolved and continues to expand. In the UK, outside of a few national policy drivers, there are no agreed priorities, measures or defined outcomes for hospital clinical pharmacy (CP). This paper aims to (1) highlight the need to identify and prioritise specific CP roles, responsibilities and practices that will bring the greatest benefit to patients and health systems and (2) describe systematic weaknesses in current research methodologies for evaluating CP services and propose a different approach. |
