00:04The hospital pharmacist is becoming a central figure in patient care because he or she is the link between the clinician, the
00:15'nurses, the management of spending and the ownership of drug use.
00:23The pharmacist has the role of ensuring that the drug that the clinician decides to give to the patient can
00:31be given following the constraints that exist from a bureaucratic and administrative point of view,
00:39but to ensure, as we have seen with these complex cases, that it is feasible and that the patient can be given the best
00:46solution, his pathology that allows him to have a healthy and above all functional life with his family, with
00:55friends and work.
00:57The second thing that the pharmacist does is a trend of dialogue, communication, knowledge because he speaks with
01:03patient and understands the issues of the drug,
01:06both from the point of view of tolerability, when we talk about tolerability we are talking about efficacy and safety.
01:13The pharmacist is the one who can really check that the patient is happy with the therapy because often the clinician is
01:25of speed, as we have seen in a complex case,
01:27the presence of the pharmacist who checked the patients who were adhering to the pathology brought to light a whole series of
01:33solutions that later came true
01:35and therefore allowing the treatment of the pathology and not the progression of the pathology but the arrest or slowing down of the
01:43progression.
01:44In my opinion, there needs to be more dialogue, and certainly more training because training is fundamental.
01:52I keep repeating that to all my students and to all the people I talk to that l
01:57The European Medicines Agency approves approximately 100 drugs each year,
02:02Some are just for new indications, some are completely new. It's certainly very difficult for clinicians to keep up with everything.
02:11the drugs,
02:11It is even more difficult for the general practitioner and therefore the territory. The territory has an ever-present function
02:17more important in the near future,
02:19with homes and communities the pharmacist will have a fundamental role especially for therapeutic reconciliation, for the control of
02:27'adherence,
02:27for the review of the therapy and therefore the pharmacist becomes the expert of the drug in every sense,
02:34which I mean is becoming more and more clinical, so much so that in Padua we have two events that we created thanks to
02:40to this master's degree in clinical pharmacy
02:42that are the increasingly clinical pharmacist and the pharmacist alongside the clinician and the patient in improving precisely
02:50the treatments
02:50and ensure that care should not be saved on care, care should be used to have a
03:00future savings.
03:01This is the goal, we must always think not only about the property but also say I give this care because I slow down
03:08the pathology,
03:09the patient is well and is less of a burden on society.
03:12Thank you.
