Many definitions of the term clinical pharmacy exist, but a number of ambiguities remain. In order to clarify the European Society of Clinical Pharmacy (ESCP) position on what defines clinical pharmacy, a consultation exercise was conducted among ESCP members with the findings used as the basis for an updated definition. The updated definition clarifies that clinical pharmacy (1) represents both a professional practice and field of research, (2) aims to optimise the utilisation of medicines in order to achieve person-centered and public health goals, (3) as a practice encompasses cognitive, managerial and interpersonal activities targeting all stages of the medicines use process, and as a field of research generates knowledge that informs clinical decision-making, health care organisation or policy, (4) as a practice is restricted to pharmacists, (5) can be practiced regardless of setting, and (6) encompasses pharmaceutical care but is not restricted to it.
许多术语对临床药学有不同的定义，但仍存在一些模糊性。为了澄清欧洲临床药学学会（ESCP）对定义临床药学的立场，对 ESCP 成员进行了一次咨询活动，将调查结果用作更新定义的基础。更新后的定义明确指出，临床药学（1）既代表一种专业实践，也是一个研究领域；（2）旨在优化药物的使用，以实现以人为本和公共卫生目标；（3）作为一种实践，涵盖了针对药物使用过程各个阶段的认知、管理和人际活动；作为一个研究领域，它产生了为临床决策、医疗保健组织或政策提供信息的知识；（4）作为一种实践仅限于药剂师；（5）可以在任何环境中进行实践；（6）包括药物治疗，但不仅限于此。
