Emergency Department Pharmacist

​

Annually, over 20 million patients are treated in German emergency departments. It is estimated that between 5 and 10% of all hospital admissions are due to adverse drug reactions (ADRs), which are often not correctly identified. The diverse patient population, numerous concurrent processes, constant time constraints, and varying levels of training and expertise among staff members present a considerable risk for medication errors. The integration of pharmacists has already resulted in enhanced safety of drug therapy in a number of clinical areas. However, the role of an Emergency Department Pharmacist is currently only available in a limited number of facilities in Germany. This underscores the need for greater pharmacist presence in German emergency departments.

Therfore, the Foundation Patient & Clinical Pharmacy is actively and broadly promoting the establishment of clinical pharmacy in Germany. It is supporting the Emergency Department Pharmacist project throughout Germany, with two to three projects funded to implement and establish clinical pharmacy in the emergency department. The foundation is particularly encouraging applications from small and mid-size non-university hospital pharmacies. Doctorates are excluded.

Pharmacists of a German, non-university hospital pharmacy are eligible to apply. The project is planned for a two-year funding period and includes personnel costs of 50-100% TV-L E14, the scope should be adapted to local conditions. The tender is carried out in a two-stage process.
