| description | Pharmacists, being health information gurus and one of the
largest groups of healthcare providers, seep into the changing
dynamics of the healthcare environment where now the
patient is both demanding of, and receptive to, information
even on minor illnesses. The profession of pharmacy holds
the concept of ‘patient centred care,’ thus shifting the image of
a pharmacist from a dispenser to a decision-maker and caregiver.
This places an additional burden on the pharmacist,
and therefore the practice of professional principles should
be more dynamic and action-oriented in the best interest of
the patient. Future pharmacy practitioners need to gain
better understanding of the professional principles and heterogeneous
philosophies of pharmacy practice that initiate
from dispensing, counselling, congenial interprofessional
and intra-professional working, and later culminate in drug
and patient safety, pharmacogenomics and pharmacoinformatics.
In order to accomplish this, future pharmacy
practitioners could be frequently acclimatized to the concept
of reflective learning in different pharmacy modules. It is
suggested that the concept of reflective learning could be
nurtured by observational writing. The requirement of
reflection-imbued observational writing generally, exposes
the students to activities related to learning and makes them
an insider for a transient epoch facilitating in facing the world
being observed. |
