This article discusses the concept of pharmaceutical care especially from the European perspective. It tries to clarify the current status of pharmaceutical care research and implementation, and if and how it can be part of the practice of pharmacy. Pharmaceutical care basically means improving the medication use process in order to improve outcomes, including the patients' quality of life, and that involves a focus change for pharmacy from product to patient. This change in focus also implies that the pharmacy curriculum should be adapted, in order for the pharmacist to be able to acquire new knowledge and skills. In most countries this change currently is taking place but not in very deliberate or structured manner. Some basic decisions have to be made, in order to guarantee that every patient receives pharmaceutical care when needed.
本文从欧洲视角探讨药学服务的概念。它试图阐明药学服务研究与实施的现状，以及它是否能够以及如何成为药学实践的一部分。药学服务基本上意味着改善药物使用过程以提高治疗效果，包括患者的生活质量，这涉及到药学从关注产品到关注患者的重点转变。这种重点的转变也意味着药学课程应该进行调整，以便药剂师能够获得新的知识和技能。在大多数国家，这种转变目前正在发生，但并非以非常审慎或结构化的方式进行。为了确保每个患者在需要时都能获得药学服务，必须做出一些基本决策。
