adeola_drg: Good good good... TommyBob we wait 4 ur questions.

Tommybob: hahaha.... watz d diff btw community pharmacy nd hospital pharmacy .... NB.. i dnt want to go through Google

funniest thing, you might not be taught in class maybe until the 4th year. I so much dislike the way the curriculum is.
Do you know that even at year two, some of my colleques dont know the basics things, I mean know what pharmacy is really.
Not their fault, its the fault of the syllabus. We just come to classs and the next thing, they start taking us thru series of advanced sciences. There should be a course named Intro. to Pharmacy, even if it goin to be 1unit.

To your questions, I will just give examples.
The pharmacists yoou see in Hospitals are Hospital rxs and the rxists(not chemists) u see in the streets are the community rxists.
U are under a doctor in Hospital settns nd alone, on yyour own, in community settings!
Also latter has the potentials of making 'dangerous' amount of money! I mean Kudi, or Ego or Owo(r:m). Hehehe. Hope I tried

We have an 'intro to pharmacy' course in my school at 200L. I wrote the exam b4 ASUU strike. Different schools and their curriculum. I met 2 200L girls from UI(tolu and Tosin, busayo too) and I found dey had a diff curriculum.

The diff btw hospital pharmacy and community pharmacy is not that much of a problem. Unlike hospital Pharmacy vs clinical pharmacy.

Samgreguc: wot is the difference between those two please?

Homguy: Aint you an OAU lady and not a dude?

adeola_drg: Hospital Pharmacy has less customer issues to deal with rather they av a lot of compounding issues, accuracy, medication management, drug interactions, regimen safety issues esp the IVs. Patients compliance too. The only professional function that overlaps them is that of dispensing and counseling and access to patients medication history.

Here community pharmacists av to worry bout customer satisfaction, accuracy and timing of drugs dispensed and customer related stuffs not negating the ambulatory part. Where I'm going is this.
WHO has put a lot of drugs under the GSL list. Drugs like postinor for example. U don't need to see a doctor b4 u take them, tho that doesn't make it an OTC. U av to see a pharmacist b4 using them. I presume that this GSL list is even wider than the POM list, lotta antibiotics are there.. Cheers

Tommybob: Boss mi wa gbayi..... Tnx a lot..... Buh cnt we operate both together??

Haha, see whines.. I'm in year 2. Currently preparing for AnatPhyBch exam sef.. It is well..

It really doesn't matter buh matters too. Our first class was a pharmchem class.. Buh I think it depends on curriculum. Intro to pharmacy was under clinical pharmacy dept coupled with history (both Nigerian and Global) of pharmacy, herbal and alternative medicine et al.

Samgreguc: wot is the difference between those two please?

Tommybob: There is nafin that can describe you other than the Real "Efiwe" pls .... Is dia anyone that can help me with some yr 1 material.... Like help me to scan nd send to my mail.... Anyone?

Basically clinical pharmacy myt not yet be in progress here in naija unlike how it is in the western world.

Hospital pharmacists are the ones that work in the hospital for the purpose of compounding, dispensing, counselling et al. There's something pharmacists call MTM in the UK. Medication therapy management, u myt want to Google that.

Clinical pharmacists undergo residency programs(in les say HIV/AIDS or oncology) in the hospital for a number of years. What I'm not sure of is if this residency program qualifies him as a consultant or he has to undergo another program to be a consultant.

Both go for ward rounds buh one has a deeper knowledge than the other. If only we could practice clinical pharmacy the way they do abroad, the doctors would know their places and quietly sit there. We av the court case to train clinical pharmacists by WAPCP in our favour already tho. Let's pray for Pharm Akintayo and the newly inaugurated PCN as they do their best. Long live the pharmacy profession, Long live PSN, Long live PCN, Long live pansites, Long live my friends on this thread, Long live Nairaland. Cheers *drops mic*
