Overview of (Book name here)
According to Martin Stephens, ‘starting at the beginning’ would require a clear and commonly accepted definition of hospital pharmacy, but that is problematic. While there would be agreement on certain activities that are carried out in ‘pharmacy’ in what is clearly a ‘hospital’, there has never been a definitive, universally accepted description of what hospital pharmacy includes. Nor has there been a clear delimitation of what falls outside the scope of competence of the hospital pharmacy. For example, does the hospital pharmacy include hospital outpatient dispensing? In Scotland, and in some English trusts, dispensing for hospitals’ outpatient services is not part of the service provided by the hospital pharmacy. When such services exist and are contracted to independent providers that provide the service on the site, maybe that is seen as “hospital pharmacy”, but community pharmacies that dispense to hospital outpatients (via hospital FP10) are considered part of the hospital pharmacy service? And what about the “hospital at home” style of care that comprises complex interventions, led by hospital staff but delivered in the patient’s home?Topics of this Edition
