Pharmacist
Pharmacists are medical professionals who are involved in dispensing, manufacturing and preparing medication. In a retail or clinic setting, pharmacists prepare medication according to a doctor"s prescription, and check that the dosage and combination of medicines are safe to use. In a hospital environment, pharmacists need to monitor patients" responses to medications and ensure that the correct medications are being provided. Due to the fact that pharmacists are often the most accessible medical professionals, they are becoming more involved in monitoring certain conditions (such as diabetes and high blood pressure) and helping with disease management. Some pharmacists work in the manufacturing industry, where they ensure that medicines are being made correctly and are safe to use. They may also be involved in creating new products and checking that these are safe and effective. Pharmacists form the link between pharmaceutical manufacturers and medical doctors, between doctors and patients, and between patients and their communities.
