What is pharmacy?
Pharmacists are the country's main experts in medicines and pharmacy is one of the fastest growing areas of healthcare. The majority of pharmacists work in hospital and community pharmacies to deliver medicines and health advice to patients.
Pharmacists can also be involved in the pharmaceutical industry in the discovery and preparation of new and improved medicines, from their development in the lab to their distribution, usage and monitoring in the community and hospitals, both for patient care and research purposes.
