EAHP Academy Seminar "What do we need to know about building or reconstructing a hospital pharmacy?"

 
Target group of the seminar
The target group comprises hospital pharmacy managers, mainly head of pharmacies or deputies from the new EU- Countries and new members of EAHP.

Teaching goals
To ensure patient safety hospital pharmacists have to ensure:

• the correct medical supply including purchasing, stock- keeping and delivery of drugs

• the compliance with the general rules of hygiene and of the science of pharmacy
• the quality assured production and compounding of medicines
• pharmaceutical counselling like drug information and clinical pharmacy services.

EU- legislation on production of medicines in hospital pharmacies like GMP guidelines and influences the technical and interior equipment of the production areas. Recent developments of logistic of drugs were characterised by the improvement of the supply chain using automation and track and trace.
A huge number of hospital pharmacies are more then 15 years old and do not fulfil the state of technology and science. Hospitals therefore are forced to reconstruct or rebuild the hospital pharmacy.
The seminar should give support in planning or replanning the hospital pharmacy.
