Pharmacy has a long history of providing products and services for healthcare. In the last century, these roles have taken a strong focus on clinical care with the provision of medicines review, medicines optimisation, and prescribing services being at the forefront. The profession, however, is diverse. Pharmacists operate across a wide range of healthcare practices that often embrace both historic and contemporary roles simultaneously. The purpose of this article is to provide an overarching philosophical framework for pharmacy that encompasses roles that the modern pharmacist may assume. In doing this, we explore how pharmacy services align with healthcare and how different services require different approaches to clinical decision making.

Attention Score in Context
Attention Score in Context
This research output has an Altmetric Attention Score of 20. This is our high-level measure of the quality and quantity of online attention that it has received. This Attention Score, as well as the ranking and number of research outputs shown below, was calculated when the research output was last mentioned on 08 July 2018.
All research outputs
#1,974,531
of 26,868,050 outputs
Outputs from Research in Social and Administrative Pharmacy
#111
of 1,801 outputs
Outputs of similar age
#34,650
of 329,794 outputs
Outputs of similar age from Research in Social and Administrative Pharmacy
#2
of 47 outputs
Altmetric has tracked 26,868,050 research outputs across all sources so far. Compared to these this one has done particularly well and is in the 92nd percentile: it's in the top 10% of all research outputs ever tracked by Altmetric.
So far Altmetric has tracked 1,801 research outputs from this source. They typically receive more attention than average, with a mean Attention Score of 7.6. This one has done particularly well, scoring higher than 93% of its peers.
Older research outputs will score higher simply because they've had more time to accumulate mentions. To account for age we can compare this Altmetric Attention Score to the 329,794 tracked outputs that were published within six weeks on either side of this one in any source. This one has done well, scoring higher than 89% of its contemporaries.
We're also able to compare this research output to 47 others from the same source and published within six weeks on either side of this one. This one has done particularly well, scoring higher than 95% of its contemporaries.
