摘要

Hospital pharmacy departments play a pivotal role in clinical trials,saidV'Iain Fenton-May,of St Mary's Pharmaceutical Unit,Cardiff.These trials may be purely commercial with an external sponsor,or non-commercial,where the hospital itself sponsors the work,perhaps as part of a research project.Although these trials may be handled in different ways,with overall responsibility at different locations,the information required remains the same.Major hospitals will handle up to 200 concurrent trials,so sponsors should ensure that everything is done to make their particular trial run smoothly.
