Br J Clin Pharmacol. 1978 Jan;5(1):3-5. doi: 10.1111/j.1365-2125.1978.tb01590.x.
Since its inception, the Clinical Pharmacology Section of the British Pharmacological Society has been discussing the wider role and responsibility of the clinical pharmacologist beyond the university department, in the district general hospital. The following policy statement is the product of these discussions, and is published in this international journal because, although the organization of the health service and its hospitals is peculiar to the United Kingdom, the concept of a clinical pharmacology service in general hospitals has far-reaching implications. The Editorial Board hopes that its publication will lead to recognition of the part that a general physician with a special interest in clinical pharmacology can play in patient care.
自成立以来，英国药理学会临床药理学分会一直在探讨临床药理学家在大学附属医院之外的地区综合医院所应承担的更广泛角色与职责。以下这份政策声明便是这些讨论的成果，之所以在这本国际期刊上发表，是因为尽管英国的医疗服务及其医院的组织形式独具特色，但综合医院临床药理学服务的理念却有着深远影响。编辑委员会希望该声明的发表能使人们认识到对临床药理学有着特殊兴趣的普通内科医生在患者护理中所能发挥的作用。
