Quality assurance, accreditation, and glocalisation of pharmacy programmes

Abstract

Pharmacy programmes assessment is one of the most essential elements of quality assurance and a means of producing competent graduates. This short communication emphasises the need for the quality and monitoring of franchised pharmacy degree programmes. The authors recommend adopting measures that ensure the maximum coordination of the many franchised pharmacy programmes. Such measures would not only be beneficial to maintaining the integrity of the institute, but also result in competitive and competent pharmacy professionals that will serve the needs of society. © 2018 FIP.
