  • The Legal and Regulatory Framework for Community Pharmacies in the WHO European Region
    The legal and regulatory framework for community pharmacies in the WHO European Region The legal and regulatory framework for community pharmacies in the WHO European Region ABSTRACT Community pharmacists are the health professionals most accessible to the public and are a cornerstone of primary health care. The role of community pharmacists is expanding globally. This report provides an overview of existing components and provisions of the legal and regulatory framework for community pharmacies and their activities in Europe. It presents the diverse approaches to community pharmacy licenses and to establishment of new pharmacies and their ownership. It also details the framework for community pharmacy operating requirements (including opening hours, workforce, premises and equipment, services provided and identification of a community pharmacy) and the types of activity undertaken. Provisions associated with possible alternative forms of dispensing medicines (over-the-counter medicines, prescription-only medicines, dispensing by medical doctors and online medicine sales) are also described. The report concludes with the possible key players involved in the legal and regulatory framework and outlines their missions and functions. Adoption of provisions from one country to another needs a full analysis of advantages and disadvantages and adoption into the local context and adjusted to the coherence of the national framework.

In addition, the relationship between trait EI and EO was explored to determine if trait EI is positively associated with EO in pharmacists. Finally, entrepreneurial services offered by pharmacists were evaluated for type and frequency. Critically analyzing the EO of pharmacists in different settings and in different roles and evaluating the entrepreneurial services they offer will produce a better understanding of the need for entrepreneurship training for students in colleges and schools of pharmacy.

  • The Founding and Activities of the Pharmacy Division of the Vilnius Medical Society
    ORIGINAL ARTICLES Vilnius University1; Lithuanian University of the Health Sciences2, Vilnius, Lithuania The founding and activities of the Pharmacy Division of the Vilnius Medical Society R. KONDRATAS1,*, V. GUDIENĖ2 Received December 10, 2019, accepted March 11, 2020 *Corresponding author: Ramunas Kondratas, Universiteto St. 3, LT-01503 Vilnius, Lithuania [email protected] Pharmazie 75: 353-359 (2020) doi: 10.1691/ph.2020.9209 The Pharmacy Division of the Vilnius Medical Society was founded in 1819. It was the first and only pharmacy organization in Lithuania until the beginning of the 20th century. At the time of its founding, there were only three other pharmacy organizations in the Russian Empire: the Riga Chemical-Pharmaceutical Society (1803), the Mitau (now Jelgava) Pharmacy Society (1808) and the St. Petersburg Pharmacy Society (1818). The Division did much to improve the practice of pharmacy, enhance pharmaceutical knowledge and education, support and encourage pharmaceutical research, as well as provide a forum for discussion of all matters of interest and concern to the pharmacy profession. Through its publications, rich library and study collections, pharmacists in Vilnius and the Vilnius governorate stayed abreast of all the major developments and discoveries in the medical and pharmaceu- tical sciences. After the closing of Vilnius University in 1832 and of the Vilnius Medical-Surgical Academy in 1842, the Vilnius Medical Society, and hence its Pharmacy Division, lost its academic base. Pharmaceutical chemistry suffered especially. Pharmacists turned their attention to their practices and business interests. Their interest in the Society waned and their membership dwindled. In the beginning of the 20th century, especially after Lithuania regained its independence in 1918, other organizational opportunities opened up to them.
