Value for money and hospital pharmacists.

JCPH – Vol. 63, n 1 – janvier–février 2010 92 Some of you have heard me speak about “the pharmacist narcotic effect”. By this I mean that some physicians may be skeptical of the value of pharmacists, but when they finally have the opportunity to work closely with a clinical pharmacist and personally experience the value that this individual brings to the health care team, they become “addicted” to the role of the pharmacist. Should the pharmacist leave the team, the physician goes into “withdrawal” and asks for a replacement pharmacist. So, go out there and demonstrate your value to your health professional colleagues and to your patients and leave them wanting more.
