It is likely you will have visited a pharmacy in the past month and if you have, you’re not the only one. In England alone, 1.6 million people visit a pharmacy each day and over the course of a year an average person visits a pharmacy 14 times.
The main reasons for visiting the pharmacy are to collect medicine prescribed by a doctor, buy medicine over the counter or to get health advice from the pharmacist.
Because of their accessibility and what they do pharmacists are one of the most trusted professions in the UK, but they do a lot more than prescribe your medicine in your local pharmacy.
Pharmacy makes a vital contribution to society – over the years medicines and access to medicines have revolutionised the health of the nation.
Scope in the USA:
The pharmacist is one of the most accessible members of today's health care team. More than 200 million people-nearly the equivalent of its entire population-pass through America's pharmacies each week. At more than 50,000 locations, for most hours of the day, pharmacists are ready to serve the public providing their complete pharmaceutical care needs. The pharmacist traditionally has been the first source of advice and assistance for many health concerns. Today pharmacists are assuming more responsibility in attempting to better meet the health care needs of society.
Pharmacists are the country's main experts in medicines and pharmacy is one of the fastest growing areas of healthcare. They share a common commitment to improving people's lives through medicines and care and making a real contribution to the nation's health. Career opportunities are developing fast and pharmacists today can be found in many different settings including high street pharmacies, hospital wards, GPs' surgeries, walk-in centres, industry and universities.
A career in pharmacy offers you:
• The pursuit of an interest in science
• The opportunity to join the NHS healthcare team
• A choice of working environments
Pharmacists are the experts in medicine. Many are part of the NHS family, providing high quality healthcare to patients, ensuring they make the best use of their medicines.
Pharmacists also work across industry and academia playing a vital role in the discovery, development and delivery of medicines.
Pharmacy is essential to modern society helping relieve suffering, manage long term conditions and cure disease.

Ask yourself what kind of future appeals to you. Do you want challenges, opportunities, a chance to make a difference?
If the answer is “yes†then this is what you can expect from a career in pharmacy:
• For a start, you help people.
• You are an important part of the community.
• You are in demand wherever you choose to live. There are opportunities to work abroad because your skills are in demand worldwide.

• Your job is interesting.
Few occupations meet all of these standards. Few meet them better than a career in pharmacy. What's stopping you?

Career Preparation of Pharmacy
Pharmacists today are responsible for ensuring the rational, safe and cost-effective use of drugs. Pharmacist duties include: participating in the drug use decision-making process, establishing therapeutic goals for each patient, selecting the appropriate drug dosage form, selecting the drug product source of supply, determining the dose and dosage schedule, preparing the drug product for patient use, providing the drug product and drug information to the patient, monitoring the patient to maximize compliance, monitoring the patient to detect adverse drug reactions and drug interactions, and monitoring the patient's progress to improve therapeutic outcomes.
Numerous drug therapy problems are recognized and corrected by pharmacists in their practices. Pharmacists work closely with the prescriber and patient to ensure proper and safe use of medications.
