Importance & Scope:
Clinical pharmacy is a branch of pharmacy which deals with the patient care and medication and promotes health, wellness and disease inhibition. The pharmacist works in management with the doctors for the patient healthcare. Clinical pharmacists have wide education in the biomedical, pharmaceutical, and clinical sciences. Clinical Pharmacy consist of all the services accomplished by pharmacists practicing in hospitals, community pharmacies, nursing homes, home-based care services, clinics and any other setting wherever medicines are prescribed and used. The term "clinical" does not necessarily suggest an action implemented in a hospital setting. It defines that the type of activity is connected to the health of the patients. This suggests that community pharmacists and hospital pharmacists both can accomplish clinical pharmacy activities.
Scope of clinical pharmacy:
- Drug Information
- Drug Utilization
- Drug Evaluation and Selection
- Medication Therapy Management
- Formal Education and Training Programs
- Disease State Management

Market Growth of Clinical Pharmacy:
The global pharmacy market reached nearly $3.0 billion in 2012. This market is expected to grow to nearly $3.2 billion in 2013 and $4.9 billion in 2018 with a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 8.8% over the five-year period, 2013 to 2018. Clinical pharmacy has a rich history of advancing practice through innovation. These innovations helped to mold clinical pharmacy into a patient-centered discipline recognized for its contributions to improving medication therapy outcomes. However, innovations in clinical pharmacy practice have now waned. In our view, the growth of academic–practice partnerships could reverse this trend and stimulate innovation among the next generation of pioneering clinical pharmacists. Although collaboration facilitates innovation, academic institutions and health care systems/organizations are not taking full advantage of this opportunity. The next few years will see spending on drugs in established markets in North America, Europe and Japan grow by just 1-4% annually.
