The global conference was an exceptional event that gathered pharmacy leaders from around the world to create a globally shared vision for transformative pharmacy and pharmaceutical sciences education. Following an extensive consensus-based consultation process, three critical documents that set the future milestones for workforce development through education were adopted at the global conference: (1) a Global Vision for Education and Workforce, (2) Pharmaceutical Workforce Development Goals, and (3) Statements on Pharmacy and Pharmaceutical Sciences Education ("the Nanjing Statements"). The global vision describes the future directions of our profession and how education can support the evolution of science and practice. A set of 13 Pharmaceutical Workforce Development Goals aim to facilitate the implementation of the global vision through a series of measurable, feasible and tangible goals. The Nanjing Statements are a set of 67 statements that describe an envisioned future for education, to enable the enhancement of professional education standards worldwide. A full report of the global conference, “Transforming Pharmacy and Pharmaceutical Sciences Education in the Context of Workforce Development”, was launched in May 2017. Through the report, FIP calls on leaders in pharmacy practice, pharmaceutical education and other key stakeholders to support and advocate the implementation of these key outcomes in their countries. Under the aegis of FIP Education (FIPEd), FIP is committed to inform, guide and support the strategic planning and implementation of the outcomes to facilitate the transformation of the global pharmaceutical workforce in line with overall health workforce strategies promoted by national and international agencies. Research, development and evaluation are key mechanisms for strategy implementation and this report widens the evidence base for research, development and evaluation strategies for pharmaceutical education and the workforce. With evidence-based expert recommendations and comprehensive case studies from 21 countries around the world, the report provides guidance on aligning national research, development and evaluation projects with the global vision and Pharmaceutical Workforce Development Goals. This document is intended for all members of the pharmaceutical workforce, pharmacy leaders, governments and other stakeholders to catalyse needs-based planning, priority setting and forward action towards implementing the global vision. The report is also intended as a tool for member organisations to help prioritise and facilitate the adoption of the Pharmaceutical Workforce Development Goals in the context of their national strategies on health and workforce development. FIPEd — armed with a clear, shared global vision — is committed now more than ever to advance the global pharmaceutical workforce in the context of education and training. The first FIPEd publication following the launch of the Nanjing roadmap, this report aims to enable global action to transform the pharmaceutical workforce in line with the newly adopted global roadmap.

REVIEW Development and Current Status of Clinical Pharmacy Education in China Ming Hu, PhD,a Gary Yee, PharmD,b Naitong Zhou, MS,a Nan Yang, PhD,a Xuehua Jiang, PhD,a and Donald Klepser, PhDb a West School of Pharmacy, Sichuan University, Chengdu, Sichuan Province, China b College of Pharmacy, University of Nebraska Medical Center, Omaha, Nebraska Submitted October 24, 2013; accepted February 19, 2014; published October 15, 2014. Objective. To describe the current status and developing trend of clinical pharmacy education in China. Methods. Descriptive analysis of data and information about the clinical pharmacy specialty, pharmacy colleges, and curriculum from literature, college websites, and statistics from the Ministry of Health (MOH) and Ministry of Education (MOE) websites was conducted. Results. Clinical pharmacy programs were established in China in 1989 but developed more fully after 2006. In 2012, there were 30 pharmacy colleges with clinical pharmacy undergraduate programs, which included a bachelor’s degree in clinical pharmacy and a clinical pharmacy concentration within the BS programs of pharmacy or medicine. More than 40 colleges within the university system offer 4 types of master’s degree programs in clinical pharmacy. Five universities offer a PhD program in clinical phar- macy. Three postgraduate programs exist, which train hospital pharmacists and clinical pharmacists: the 312 year Hospital Pharmacist Standardized Training Program at Peking hospitals; the 1-year Clinical Pharmacist Training Program sponsored by the MOH; and the 2-year Clinical Pharmacist Residency Program provided by West China Hospital at Sichuan University. Conclusion. A growing clinical pharmacy education system has been established and has become an important subfield in Chinese pharmacy education.

Within a few years, the herbal medical products of Hamdard became household names. The phenomenal success of Hamdard products is a legendary part of the business history of Pakistan. The name Hamdard however acquired a still wider meaning, when Hakim Mohammed Said founded Hamdard University in 1991. The establishment of a university which could enliven the intellectual tradition of the educational institutions of the golden era of Muslim civilization had always been his most cherished dream.In fact it was the central point towards which all his endeavours were directed. The actual appearance of the university was just the culmination of a long dedicated and continued effort spanning his whole life. However, apart from being a great educational leader, Hakim Mohammed Said was also one of the finest exponents of eastern medicine, who had treated millions of patients from all over the world including Pakistan, Europe,Africa and the Middle East by the time of his martyrdom (Shahadat) in October 1998.

    Department of Pharmacy & Pharmacology Pre-entry Guide 2019-20 for Master of Pharmacy (MPharm) and Master of Pharmacy (MPharm) with integrated pre-registration year Name: …………………………………………. Dear Student, Congratulations on passing your exams and achieving the necessary qualifications to enter the Department of Pharmacy & Pharmacology at the University of Bath! You can be confident that you are embarking on a degree programme which is widely respected in the UK and further afield, and which will give you a strongly positive start to your chosen career in pharmacy. It is my responsibility as Director of Teaching, and MPharm Director of Studies, to ensure that our Department and its academic staff provide you with every opportunity to achieve your potential. We do this primarily by designing integrated MPharm programmes, in which core pharmaceutical sciences, pharmacology and biomedical sciences are taught in a way that emphasises their importance to clinical pharmacy practice. Our MPharm programmes undergo regular review and updates, both to keep their content in line with recent scientific and clinical research, and to take advantage of technological developments so that at least some of that accumulated information can be made available in an easily digestible form to you. A brief outline of the first year of your MPharm programme is provided in this booklet, together with some instructions on what we would like you to do before arriving in Bath to commence your studies. However, the most important point that I wish to emphasise is that, at University, your success (or otherwise!) is much more in your hands than it is in ours.
