Are you still proficient across all the different domains of hospital pharmacy? The DPC platform is dedicated to the ongoing training of hospital pharmacists.

Your education does not end but rather really only begins the day you graduate as a hospital pharmacist. Indeed, graduates must maintain and improve their professional qualification by participating in an ongoing training program that helps them successfully recertify their professional competencies.

Online Course on Good Clinical Practices

GCPs are an international regulation of scientific and ethical quality that ensures the protection of the rights, safety, and well-being of individuals participating in clinical trials, as well as the credibility of the data derived from them.
At the national level, Royal Decree 1090/2015, of December 4, which regulates clinical trials with medicinal products, the Ethics Committees for Research on Medicinal Products, and the Spanish Registry of Clinical Studies, dedicates two of its chapters to this important topic.
Hospital Pharmacy Departments are, according to the Law on Guarantees and Rational Use of Medicines, responsible for the reception, custody, and dispensing of investigational medicinal products used within the framework of a clinical trial. This implies the need for every pharmacist involved in a clinical trial, in any of their relevant activities, to have formal training in GCPs.

FHARMATECA project

The Spanish Society of Hospital Pharmacists (SEFH), with the sponsorship of GSK, has created FHarmateca, a repository of information and knowledge about hospital pharmacy. The goal behind this initiative was to contribute to the training of pharmacists who are in the process of preparing themselves to take a competitive exam obtain a staff position in a hospital. Some autonomous regions lacking a clear syllabus for such exams, SEFH thought it necessary to produce a high-quality tool that can be used as a reference all over the country. This is how FHarmateca came into being as a repository of up-to-date resources for hospital pharmacists.
