Different Kinds of Pharmacist Jobs

Pharmacists are needed wherever medicines are prepared or dispensed. Even storage of medicines should be under their supervision. The pharmacist is trained to dispense the correct dosages of medicines meeting the correct standards of purity. Non-pharmacists can make incorrect decisions on these matters, leading to serious health consequences, including danger to life.

So who stores, prepares and dispenses medicines?
• Retail Chemists selling prescription and over the counter drugs to the public
• Hospitals and Clinics dispensing medicines to their patients
• Healthcare and infusion facilities providing medication services at home or nursing homes
• Government and community centres offering healthcare and medication services
• Armed services that have their own medical departments and services
All the above establishments will thus need the services of qualified pharmacists to fill these infusion pharmacy jobs.

Pharmacists are also needed to research and develop drugs for pharmaceutical companies, and in their sales and marketing departments. Thus the pharmaceutical manufacturers are a major source of infusion pharmacy jobs.

Pharmacists work as retail pharmacists, clinical pharmacists, IV pharmacists, pharmacy managers, drug research scientists and so on. When dealing with the public, they have to be more than just medicine dispensers. They have to provide advice on the correct usage of the medicines. They might also be called upon to consult with healthcare professionals. Pharmacists thus need an ethical attitude and good communications skills in addition to technical know-how.
