Institutional background
The Department of Social Pharmacy performs research and teaching within Social Pharmacy. Social Pharmacy may be defined as the discipline dealing with the role of medicines at the level of the individual, group/organisation and society. Social Pharmacy also embraces the activities of the pharmaceutical profession. Hence, Social Pharmacy spans a variety of themes from the experiences and perceptions of the medicine user to national and international drug policy.
Research focus
‘Medicine Use’ which aims at improving the rationality of medicine management and use among professionals and among users.
‘Pharmacy practice’ which is to support the development of the pharmacists’ professional role and to evaluate pharmacy activities in health care.
