In recent years, several developed countries reported on new multidisciplinary roles of pharmacists and pharmacy assistants, especially considering the former's expanding functions. This paper examines differences in pharmacists' and pharmacy assistants' professional roles and the dispensing system in Japan with those in the United Kingdom, Malaysia, and the Philippines. A review of relevant literature was supplemented by interviews of dispensary staff at hospitals and community pharmacies in Malaysia and the Philippines. The UK, Philippines, and Malaysia had dispensing assistants who performed dispensing roles, while Japan did not. Although pharmacy assistants occasionally performed screening and dispensing inspections due to the lack of pharmacists, it is necessary for pharmacists participating in risk management to ensure formula optimization and monitoring. Pharmacists' contribution to medical care involves ensuring safety in drug therapy and overall medical services. Screening is the most fundamental and important function performed exclusively by pharmacists, thereby establishing their status within the medical system.
近年来，几个发达国家报道了药剂师和药房助理的新的多学科角色，尤其是考虑到前者职能的不断扩大。本文研究了日本药剂师和药房助理的专业角色以及配药系统与英国、马来西亚和菲律宾的差异。通过对马来西亚和菲律宾医院及社区药房的配药人员进行访谈，对相关文献进行了补充。英国、菲律宾和马来西亚有执行配药职责的配药助理，而日本没有。尽管由于药剂师短缺，药房助理偶尔会进行筛查和配药检查，但参与风险管理的药剂师有必要确保配方优化和监测。药剂师对医疗保健的贡献包括确保药物治疗和整体医疗服务的安全。筛查是药剂师专门执行的最基本和最重要的职能，从而确立了他们在医疗系统中的地位。
