Q6. What are your expectations of a partnership between the Industry and you as a future pharmacist?

Expectations from Industry: Verbatim Comments

I would like take part of the Industry because working together, pharmacists could develop their knowledge in this area.

More transparency, more involvement of the community pharmacist in the industry decision.

I expect a good relationship which encourages all pharmacists to keep on learning and facilitates easy access to new information and skills..

Furthermore, case studies and medicinal products provide progress that after could have an impact on patients.

Giving some clues and advices, share knowledge and experience and psychological aspect of pharmacy working things that you cant learn at university.

The industry should give pharmacists the possibility to participate in patient-based projects, which are funded or organised by the pharmaceutical industry. They should also train pharmacists in objectives that the companies know al their keypoints

In a future, I wonder I will a connection between Industry and patients, giving them the best proposal concerned on new therapeutical medicaments
