Clinical
Pharmacology, a discipline complementary to, yet distinct from
basic pharmacology, was introduced into the Medical Faculty of
HKU in 1982 as part of the Department of Medicine.
In
the long term, the Division strives to achieve:
- Heightening
awareness of Clinical Pharmacology and the importance of what
it can offer clinicians.
- Continuous
refinement, review and updating of educational activity, whilst
establishing only relatively limited number of formal lectures,
promoting principles whilst de-emphasizing factual details,
and encouraging recourse to appropriate information sources.
- More
rational (cost effective) hospital and community drug prescribing,
whilst maintaining the highest ethical standards. The efficient
and harmonious development of Clinical Pharmacology as an interdisciplinary
resource within the Faculty as well as hospital and community
health services.
