“Pharmacists should move from behind the counter and start serving the public by providing care instead of pills only. There is no future in the mere act of dispensing. That activity can and will be taken over by the internet, machines, and/or hardly trained technicians. The fact that pharmacists have an academic training and act as health care professionals puts a burden upon them to better serve the community than they currently do.”
(From: Pharmaceutical care, European developments in concepts, implementation, and research: a review)

Une autre définition du pharmaceutical care selon la Fédération Internationale des Pharmaciens (FIP):

“Pharmaceutical care is the responsible provision of drug therapy for the purpose of achieving definite outcomes that improve or maintain a patient’s quality of life”.
