Abstract

Clinical pharmacology sits at the interface between basic pharmacology and the effective drug treatment of human disease. Because of the dominance of pharmacotherapy in modern therapeutics, clinical pharmacology has become indispensable for the development of new treatments as well as for the proper understanding and practice of contemporary medicine. Clinical pharmacologists have not only been strikingly successful in advancing therapeutic knowledge but, especially in the UK, they have also developed a broader leadership role in the provision of health services. Nevertheless, there remain areas of activity where the influence of the discipline has been less impressive, and where there are real opportunities for the future of the subject.
