Our Pharmacists
Consultant and senior care pharmacists are essential participants in the health care system, recognized and valued for the practice of pharmaceutical care for the senior population and people with chronic illness. In their role as medication therapy experts, consultant and senior care pharmacists:
- Take responsibility for their patients’ medication-related needs
- Ensure that medications are the most appropriate, effective, safe
- Ensure that medications are used correctly
- Identify, resolve, and prevent medication-related problems that may interfere with goals of therapy
The American Society of Consultant Pharmacists (ASCP) is the professional association that provides leadership, education, advocacy, and resources to advance the practice of consultant and senior care pharmacy.
ASCP’s 7,000+ members manage and improve drug therapy and improve the quality of life of patients residing in a variety of environments, including nursing facilities, subacute care and assisted living facilities, psychiatric hospitals, hospice programs, and home/community-based care.
