Pharmaceutical Care Health Service Unit. Pharmaceutical care at Strathclyde is being developed by a multidisciplinary team closely integrated into local service provision and service evaluation. Clinical teaching has provided the basis for the extension of pharmacy clinical services in both primary and secondary care. Pharmaceutical care is the intended outcome of those services and it requires a research-led approach to service delivery alongside a commitment at postgraduate level to clinical teaching across the range of clinical specialities. The development of effective audit tools requires validation and the implementation of new approaches to practice research.
Research also forms part of the evaluation of educational programmes.
Clinical speciality services of current interest provided by Glasgow pharmacy specialists and demonstrating a research-led approach include drug misuse, palliative care, radiopharmacy services, oncology, cardiology and rheumatology, pharmacokinetic services, paediatric services and mental health.
