title: [Pharmaceutical care abroad and in the Czech Republic].
abstract: The position of the pharmaceutical service in the society of future generation will depend on the quality of pharmaceutical care. Its importance has followed from the requirements of the patients themselves. By accepting his new role, the pharmacist is able to influence the relationship of the patient to the drug in all situations when man encounters the drug: in the course of hospitalization, during the transition from hospital to domestic care, in domestic treatment, in dispensation of drugs supplied on medical prescription, and in the purchases of over-the-counter drugs. In order to cope with these tasks, the pharmacist must cooperate more intensively with a wider team of health workers of the primary and secondary care. There will be necessary changes in the hitherto style of work of pharmacies and both in the graduate and further education of pharmacists. The aim is a safe and rational use of drugs, prevention of wasting, and education of people to take the responsibility for their health.
