If you are entering or going to enter healthcare profession you need to personally meet all the professionals (Medical doctors, Nurses, Paramedics etc...) and introduce yourself.
Let them know about your degree/ position (clinical pharmacist) and how can you contribute or assist or help. it should be very precise and impact full. Be humble and polite.

Following this be active, punctual, available, get to know patients conditions, take pre rounds, communicate your points, listen to other people's points.

Always try to communicate not only with words but also with body language, hand gestures, writing etc... whatever is possible to make patient understand.
Take help of any attender of that patient who might understand and or communicate your words to the patient.
Take help of staff (especially nursing) to forward your communication to the patient.
Use Pictographs is possible.
