MRC Pharmacy Department
The core philosophy of the MRC Pharmacy Department centers around patient-centered services, recognising them as essential components in the holistic management of individuals. This approach is significant in securing the best possible outcomes in pharmacotherapy, aiming not only for effective treatment but also for an enhanced overall patient experience.
Emphasising patient-centered services signifies a commitment to tailoring pharmaceutical care to the unique needs and preferences of each individual. It involves fostering a collaborative relationship between pharmacists and patients, wherein the focus is not only on the disease being treated but also on the person undergoing the treatment. This approach goes beyond the mere dispensing of medications; it encompasses a comprehensive understanding of patient’s health conditions, lifestyles, and personal goals, thereby allowing for the customization of pharmaceutical interventions.
By prioritising patient-centered services, the MRC Pharmacy Department seeks to create a healthcare environment where patients feel actively involved in their treatment plans. This approach acknowledges the importance of open communication, shared decision-making, and the empowerment of patients to actively participate in managing their health. In doing so, the department aims to contribute to the overall well-being of patients, ensuring not only the efficacy of pharmacotherapy but also the promotion of a positive and supportive healthcare experience.
