Its a day to celebrate the profession, its a day to create awareness, sensitize the public about the role of pharmacists in healthcare. The Nigerian public, ive come to observe is unaware about how dangerous drugs are, even paracetamol can pack up your liver. 'Drugs are poisons' was the first thing i learnt in pharmacy school(my pct lecturer rang this into our hears). Just this week, i was able to stop a woman from using tetracycline and flagyl for a baby who had diarrhea, i was also able to prevent another woman from buying promethazine(oraxin) syrup and cyproheptadine. A lot and lots of other incidences like this happen everywhere and we are placed at that point, we need to let them know it's their right for their prescription to pass through a pharmacist, we need to start answering the name 'pharmacist' and correct them whenever they call us doctors, it's not pride, its dignity.. Cheers |

Pharmacists are underutilized and underappreciated in America and Nigeria. They are drug experts and know a lot more about pharmacology than physicians. Physicians who work closely and consult with pharmacists are wise because their patients will certainly get the best health outcomes. All hail Doctors of Pharmacy. 3 Likes |

Life at times... I was sad as I read this post sha.. I also waited 4 years b4 I got into pharmacy school as my mum is also a pharmacist. I also tried Unilag, OAU and UI, buh when the desperateness reaches its climax, i opted for OOU cos I didn't see myself become anything else apart from been a pharmacist. Unilorin now has pharmacy nw, there's a unilorin pharmacy IT student presently in my place of work, you can try ur best.. Pursuit is the prove of desire, if you want it, then go for it.. God'll surely help you... |

All this above insults and expression of childishness is un called for. Like when you become a professional and starts encountering some clinical issues, you'll discover that pharmacology has not much to contribute in clinical settings but all aspects of pharmacy training, thus the boast of who knows pharmacology doesn't count. The first introduction of B. Pharm in Nigeria I think was in 1989 in UNIBEN, prior to which there was BSc pharmacy. In a space of less than 20 years, we are now having Pharm D in some schools that is a positive. The B. Pharm degree is a bridge between highly product oriented BSc Pharmacy and clinical oriented PharmD. Be that as it may, for those who are feeling that Pharm D is all what you need now, it is not so . You may Go for the traditional B.pharm if you are thinking of hanging on to other aspects of pharmacy but for you to be more effective in the clinical setting, you've got to have Pharm D. Clinical setting is not all that pharmacy is about. This is a profession that every other person both in health care and non healthcare sector ( Doctors nurses, lab, politicians, businessmen, Ikechukwu , Danjuma, Kayode, Tesoo,Akpan) wants to pract5ice simply because of its uniqueness, realness, and lucrativeness. . That all efforts by members of the profwession to sanitize it has been met with great opposition even by the FMH of FGN because the heads of these ministries are too scared to; see some relevance taken away from their profession and economic advancement of the legal and rightful practitioners of the profession Most hospitals in Nigeria if not all does not have even the minimum number of pharmacist to run the lowest acceptable standard of pharmaceutical care. Most hospital management does not even want pharmaceutical services to be rendered, they 'll rather want to be content with whoever is in the dispensary or pharmacy to "just hand " over drugs to patient after being able to read and count the number of drugs prescribed by the medical officer. The quality of services rendered is not in their concern. Imagine a clinic with 6 doctors 15 nurses , and 1 pharmacist amongst other health professionals. If the 3 patient are to arrive at the pharmacy the same time, and evry 10-15 minutes, each of those doctors are releasing a patient, someone tell me how even a watery pharmacy service could be rendered. When building hospital even new ones, there are no professional imput by the pharmacist on how the dispensary is to be and be situated in relation to services to be rendered. But in all this an average pharmacist has been trying what he/ she could to getb the job done like men of honour they are they discharge their duties even in the face of professional , administrative and financial strangulations by those who administers hospitals. |

They don't know we'd make the physicians work even easier, it all falls down on the patients tho. The point is, when pharmaceutical care is not present or up to standard as proposed by hepler and strand, healthcare isn't complete.

ngozievergreen: We Pharmacists are proud of what we do.. In the community and industry, we have no opposition. But in the hospital where patients-centered care must be given, u wont give us breathing space, u're saying sum1 is inferior, dont lemme smack u.. Much has been said about Nigerian physicians, wont want to go into that now.. Buh I think its backward for them not to allow pharmacists go for ward-round, it doesn't just make sense, but trust me...
