Pharmacy technicians are an integral part of the health care team. They play an important role in the technical elements of prescription preparation and dispensing, and they collaborate with pharmacists and other health care professionals to ensure the best possible patient outcomes.
As a pharmacy technician you will work very closely with pharmacists to achieve optimal drug therapy outcomes for patients. Your work can include the technical aspects of prescriptions such as performing product preparation and distribution functions, health promotion and education such as medical device training or coordination of health clinic days, med reconciliation and inventory control. Pharmacy technicians work in collaboration with the pharmacy team and other health professionals to ensure continuity of care. |
