Pharmacy is regarded as a link between health sciences and chemical sciences, and is in charge of ensuring the safe use of medication. The pharmacy practice is aimed at compounding and dispensing medications on the orders of physicians, and it also includes more modern services related to patient care, including clinical services, reviewing medications for safety and effectiveness, and providing drug information.
Under the Directive 85/432/CEE, the degree of Pharmacy train students who will become experts on drug therapy and optimize medication use to provide patients with positive health outcomes.
Under RD 2708/82, this traditional multidisciplinary scientific training of pharmacists offers a syllabus encompassing the aforementioned knowledge, both at a global and vocational level.
