Pharmaceutical care

Core criterion

From Mr M. D. Bowyer, MRPharmS

SIR, - This time our President is not correct when referring to "that process " as medicines management (PJ, December 2, p808). If nurses administer nursing care, then surely it must be pharmacists who provide pharmaceutical care. "Medicines management " does not convey the core criterion of responsibility as a practitioner that goes with the process.

Mark Bowyer Derby
