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.

The objectives focus on the application of pharmacokinetic monitoring (PGM) as a key tool for optimizing drug therapy across various drug classes.

The aim is to personalize the dosages of antibiotics, antifungals, immunosuppressants, antineoplastics, and antipsychotics to achieve PK/PD targets, improve therapeutic efficacy, and reduce the risk of toxicity or treatment failure.

Furthermore, the use of PGM is promoted to improve clinical outcomes and patient safety, especially in the context of serious infections, transplants, or treatments with drugs with a narrow therapeutic index.

The review will also address the main software programs available to support therapeutic monitoring, analyzing their features and availability to promote more precise and evidence-based clinical practice.

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.
