Under this situation, the citizens are living under high medical expenses while low health equity and accessibility .The medical insurance system of United Kingdom (UK) provides free medical care for all citizens.The go-vernment plays a leading role in the medical insurance system .Along with better equity and accessibility , UK has achieved a relatively high level of national health at a low cost .Based on the differences of the medical insurance systems between the two countries , there are also certain differences in the working patterns of clinical pharmacists .In this article we summarize the differences and propose references for China's medical insurance reform and the development of clinical pharmacists .
