METHODS： Field interviews and questionnaire surveys were used to collect and collate relevant data on concerned people′s attitudes and demands in clinical pharmacy services towards clinical pharmacy services and clinical pharmacists in secondary hospitals. Data were analyzed by descriptive statistical methods. RESULTS： The analysis showed that the degree of acceptance and demand for clinical pharmacy services and clinical pharmacists in Chinese secondary hospitals were generally high, but there were significant differences in the specific needs and cognition of clinical pharmacists basing on different subjects. CONCLUSION： At present, clinical pharmacy service related persons in secondary hospitals have formed a preliminary understanding of clinical pharmacy services and clinical pharmacists. However, there are still remain some problems: the scope of duties of clinical pharmacists is still not clear, and some departments are less aware of clinical pharmacy services, the number of clinical pharmacists′ equipment are insufficient, the training mechanism for clinical pharmacists are inadequate, and the treatment of clinical pharmacists are poor. Secondary hospitals and related departments in China should increase the input of related resources and emphasize the training of talents according to the actual situation and needs of the development of clinical pharmacy services, establish and improve the existing pharmacist system and actively promote the relevant subjects of clinical pharmacy services so as to improve the efficiency of the implementation of pharmacy services.
