    Abstract

    The concepts pharmacy practice, clinical pharmacy, and social pharmacy help positioning pharmacists in the healthcare system. Pharmacists irrespective of their work setting interact and provide direct patient care. This is clinical service. Clinical pharmacy as a concept representing direct patient care has established its role within the society and the healthcare system. The sister discipline, social pharmacy, addresses how drugs are utilized and understood in the society. Social pharmacy as a term covers various stakeholders (such as consumers of healthcare and caregivers), the function and roles of the healthcare system, and healthcare professions-including pharmacists. The institutional and societal viewpoints on clinical pharmacy services are relevant to be discussed.
