From the points below one will know more why Beat pharmacy in Ikorodu is among the best pharmaceutical companies in Ikorodu, Lagos.
The role of the pharmacist is developing rapidly to meet the needs of modern health care systems. Ensuring accurate dispensing of prescribed medicines against prescriptions and providing sound advice on responsible self-medication remain vitally important parts of the service provided by pharmacists. Pharmacists have, however, recognised for some years that equally important roles are to advise other healthcare professionals on safe and rational use of medicines and to accept responsibility for seeking to ensure that medicines are used safely and effectively by those to whom they are supplied so that maximum therapeutic benefit is derived from treatment.
This activity contributes both to the welfare of the individual and the overall improvement of public health. These developments have established an important focus of activity for the practising pharmacist. This involves not only contributing to discussions leading to appropriate prescribing but also advising people on how to use medicines effectively. These developments also impose important ethical demands on the profession. They must be underpinned both by legislation and by changes in the basic and continuing education of pharmacists. The basic (first degree) course of education is designed to ensure that the newly qualified pharmacist has the necessary knowledge and skills to commence practising competently in a variety of settings including community and hospital pharmacy and the pharmaceutical industry.
Continuing professional development must then be a lifelong commitment for every practising pharmacist. The implementation of Pharmaceutical Care, while recognising the responsibility of the patient as end user of a medicine, requires the pharmacist to use a range of processes to facilitate the responsible provision of medicinal treatment until tangible results are achieved, improving the patient’s quality of life.
Pharmacists provide their services in a variety of settings in response to a dynamic and evolving set of primarily local health care priorities and needs. There are also regional, national and international policies and factors, which dictate the need for developments in pharmacy practice. Within this context, pharmacists are medication experts in the treatment of disease and in health promotion. This expertise, in its broadest sense, encompasses the preparation, supply and control of medicinal products and assurance of desired outcomes of treatment by medication. It thus begins with the medicine development process and continues through to medication’s ultimate benefit to the individual and to society generally. This expertise has its foundations in the pharmaceutical sciences and related research, and has its focus on the individual and populations. Futher more one still need to consider these points also.
