The European Association of Hospital Pharmacists is an association of national organisations representing hospital pharmacists in 35 countries at European and international levels.
Its mission is to represent and develop the hospital pharmacy profession within Europe in order to ensure the continuous improvement of care and outcomes for patients in the hospital setting. This is achieved through science, research, education, practice, as well as sharing best-practice and responsibility with other healthcare professionals.
Its goals are:
- to develop hospital pharmacy in order to promote the best and safest use of medicines and medical devices for the benefit of patients in Europe;
- to create a platform for the education and training of hospital pharmacists to a level of specialisation and maintain continuing professional development (CPD);
- to uphold the interests and advance the position of European hospital pharmacists within the healthcare systems, the EU and national authorities.
