Pharmacy is and always was my interst area: it´s technology, it´s staff, what staff says and does in relation to customers, customers' experience of the drug information, their drug-related problems and solutions, the pharmacy and the pharmacist of the future, cognitive services in pharmacy, pharmacy and pharmacist´s cooperation with the surrounding community. So social and clinical pharmaceutical issues.
