TODO - PHAR-QA, funded by the European Commission, is producing a framework of competences for pharmacy practice. The framework is in line with the EU directive on sectoral  professions and takes into account the diversity of the pharmacy profession and the  on-going changes in healthcare systems (with an increasingly important role for  pharmacists), and in the pharmaceutical industry. PHAR-QA is asking academia,  students and practicing pharmacists to rank competences required for practice. The  results show that competences in the areas of "drug interactions", "need for drug  treatment" and "provision of information and service" were ranked highest whereas  those in the areas of "ability to design and conduct research" and "development and  production of medicines" were ranked lower. For the latter two categories,  industrial pharmacists ranked them higher than did the other five groups.
