A description of the European Pharmacy Education and training quality assurance project. doi:10.3390/pharmacy1010003

Tijdschriftbijdrage - Tijdschriftartikel

The European Union directive on sectoral professions emphasizes the fact that
pharmacists working in member states should possess the competences required for their
professional practice; the directive does not, however, describe such competences in detail.
The "Quality Assurance in European Pharmacy Education and Training--PHAR-QA"
consortium, funded by the European Union, will define such competences and establish a quality assurance system based on them. This will facilitate the tuning of the pharmacy
education and training required to produce competent pharmacists in the different member
states. PHAR-QA will (1) establish a network of participating pharmacy departments,
(2) survey existing quality assurance systems used, and (3) develop competences through
iterative interaction with partners. The European Association of Faculties of Pharmacy will
use the harmonized competences produced as a basis for the creation of a quality assurance
agency for European pharmacy education and training. PHAR-QA will impact on staff and
students of European departments; the final stake-holder will be the European patient who
will benefit from better pharmaceutical services and better medications.
