In 1990 Hepler and Strand defined pharmaceutical care as:
“Pharmaceutical care is the responsible provision of drug therapy for the purpose of achieving definite outcomes that improves a patient’s quality of life”.
In 1998 FIP adopted this definition with one significant change as:
“Improve or maintain a patient’s quality of life”

This is my first blog and I am pretty excited about it. Instead of going through the usual way of selecting a topic related to the pharmacy field I thought of penning down a few of my own experiences which can in a way be related to pharmacy. I have a three year old son and for obvious reasons children of this age are pretty naughty and inquisitive. One day I was teaching him the alphabets along with the pictures of the word they start with , for example A for Apple, B for Ball and so on. Suddenly he started becoming restless and I enquired the reason from him. He asked me "Mom, the letter A is there and the picture of the apple is there but where is 'for' in the book? I was quite surprised when he asked me this question as i was never bothered to think about it during my entire lifetime. He was asking me something abstract or something which I couldn't explain.

Based an article published in one of the pharmacy information sources, some experts say that there is a real threat that Canada may have too many pharmacists in the near future. Increasing enrollment at pharmacy faculties across the country, combined with the continuing influx of foreign-trained pharmacists mean there will be many pharmacists looking for jobs. According to Frank Abbott, executive director of the Association of Deans of Pharmacy of Canada, soon Canada will graduate 1200 pharmacists every year, up from 780 in the year 2000, which is about 35% growth in pharmacists. On the other hand, more pharmacists will be coming into the scene when the new faculty at the University of Waterloo begins graduating an estimated 120 pharmacy students every year. Mr. Abbott thinks that it’s going to become more competitive….Is it going to be true?
