TODO - This paper presents the results of the second European Delphi round on the ranking of competences for pharmacy practice and compares these data to those of the first  round already published. A comparison of the numbers of respondents, distribution by  age group, country of residence, etc., shows that whilst the student population of  respondents changed from Round 1 to 2, the populations of the professional groups  (community, hospital and industrial pharmacists, pharmacists in other occupations  and academics) were more stable. Results are given for the consensus of ranking and  the scores of ranking of 50 competences for pharmacy practice. This two-stage,  large-scale Delphi process harmonized and validated the Quality Assurance in  European Pharmacy Education and Training (PHAR-QA) framework and ensured the  adoption by the pharmacy profession of a framework proposed by the academic pharmacy  community. The process of evaluation and validation of ranking of competences by the  pharmacy profession is now complete, and the PHAR-QA consortium will now put forward  a definitive PHAR-QA framework of competences for pharmacy practice.
