Going clinical: the White Paper--two years later.
Overall, there is agreement from attendees at the Regional Seminars that the White Paper on the Establishment and Elaboration of Clinical Pharmacy Services is a document of major importance to the profession, that the principles and the skills stressed in the White Paper should be promoted continually through seminars and standards, and that it is appropriate in terms of meeting the needs of practitioners for the advancement of clinical pharmacy practice. There is a general sense that these "How To" efforts are the best mechanism for practitioners to increasingly adapt to the needs of becoming clinical practitioners. In addition, the idea is often expressed that this type of seminar needs to be offered repeatedly for different practice populations. There are implications expressed for political action by CSHP and for changes in our schools of pharmacy. Overall, the first efforts of CPAC have been met with broad satisfaction and a demand for further publications, educational seminars and research projects.
