Pharmaceutical care: where we are now

摘要

Pharmaceutical care, what it is, as well as how and it what setting it should be provided, has sparked an enormous amount of debate around the workd. There are differences in terminology, some talking about pharmaceutical care, others about medicines management. And even those who prefer to use one term rather than the other do not always agree on what they mean by them and, more imortantly, how they work in practice. Hence there is no common understanding at either a national or international level.
