Healthcare University Medicine
Pharmacy involves the discovery, design, development, evaluation, production and use of medicines. Pharmacists are highly trained medical and scientific professionals, qualified to ensure that patients receive appropriate medicines. Pharmacy differs from pharmacology — the branch of science concerned with the study of drugs, both natural and synthetic, and how they affect living organisms. Pharmacology is part of a pharmacy curriculum, but pharmacologists cannot practise as pharmacists because they lack the legal and professional qualifications to dispense drugs.
