The area of ??pharmaceutical technology is one of the fundamental pillars of hospital pharmacy services (HPS), encompassing many complex disciplines that demand a high level of training and continuous professional development. The preparation of medications in HPS must ensure that the preparations meet all the quality, efficacy, and safety criteria established in current regulations, the Guide to Good Practices for Medication Preparation in HPS, and Good Manufacturing Practices. Therefore, pharmacists must have in-depth knowledge and understanding of all the legislative and technical aspects related to this area, in addition to responding to other needs such as shortages, therapeutic gaps, rare diseases, pediatric patients, and patients with swallowing difficulties, as well as preparing sterile formulations such as parenteral mixtures for both inpatients and outpatients.

Emergency pharmacy care has been shown to improve safety and health outcomes, but there is significant variability between hospitals due to a lack of common standards. The COMPART-ER course was created to train pharmacists, standardize their practice, and strengthen their role, thereby improving the quality and efficiency of patient care.

Training in infectious pathology with a practical and clinical focus, which will allow the development of the daily activity of the clinical pharmacist specializing in the pharmacotherapy of infectious pathology with a high qualification and development of optimal or maximum level skills and attitudes.

These sessions will cover cross-cutting training topics in areas such as research, clinical safety, education, drug preparation, clinical trials, digitalization, ethics, individualized therapy, adherence, evaluation, and orphan drugs. Training in these competencies is considered essential for hospital pharmacists and can contribute to improving the quality of healthcare.

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.

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.
