Introduction
Pharmacy revolves around people and medicines, with
special emphasis on the manufacture of medicines, their
supply, appropriate use and effects. The ultimate
concern of pharmacy is to ensure that the patient
receives the appropriate medicines and benefits from
the proper use of these.
Pharmacy is an essential part of the healthcare system in
New Zealand. Over 50 million prescriptions for
medicines are dispensed each year in New Zealand.
Pharmacy is an ever-developing profession that offers
excellent career prospects. The work is interesting and
varied offering the opportunity to join the healthcare
team in safeguarding the nation's health.
Careers in
Pharmacy
Pharmacists, pharmacy technicians
and pharmacy assistants all have
specialised
roles
in
pharmacy.
Pharmacists require a university
degree and practical training whereas
pharmacy technicians and assistants
can either train on the job and earn
whilst gaining their qualifications, or
gain a qualification through full time
study in a variety of settings.
Community Pharmacy
Situated in the cities, shopping malls and
rural towns the community pharmacy is
familiar to everyone. There are over 900
pharmacies in New Zealand, which are
visited every day by thousands of people to
have their prescriptions dispensed or to buy
pharmacy-related products. The community
pharmacy also provides advice and
counselling on the maintenance of good
health. Pharmacists, pharmacy technicians
and assistants have distinct roles in
community pharmacy.
General practice pharmacists
Some pharmacists in New Zealand work
in general practices as a member of the
health care team. They work together
with patients, doctors, nurses and other
health professionals to help ensure
medicine use is safe and effective. They
may see patients to ensure they have the
knowledge and information they need
about their medicines and health
conditions.
Pharmacists in general practice also
provide information and advice about
medicines to doctors and nurses.
Hospital Pharmacy
Hospital pharmacists in New Zealand provide
help and advice to hospital patients in all aspects
of their medicines. They work collaboratively
alongside doctors, nurses and other hospital
staff and play a key role in making sure the
medication used during a patient’s hospital stay
is evidence based, safe and effective.
They give advice such as the best choices of
medication, doses to use, how medication
works, possible side effects and interactions
between medications.
Prescribing Pharmacists
Some specialised pharmacists have also
completed extra post-graduate study at
university to become Pharmacist prescribers
and can prescribe prescription medicines. It
takes at least 7-8 years of university study.
Pharmacist Prescribers work alongside
doctors and other health professionals,
usually in general practice or hospital or
other places such as marae clinics and rest
homes. Their role is to use their extensive
training and knowledge of medicines to work
with patients to maximise the benefits from
medicines, reduce any harm and to improve
access for patients.
Vaccinations
New Zealand pharmacists who
have completed an approved
vaccinator training course can
administer a variety of vaccines
including
the
flu
vaccine, measles, mumps and
rubella vaccine, whooping cough
(pertussis)
vaccine,
meningococcal vaccine.
