EAHP’s Practice Survey is changing!

We’ve listened to our members and are improving the way in which we conduct survey surveillance of practice development in Europe in a number of important ways:

• Shorter surveys – we understand how busy professionals can be, and have therefore rationalised the number of questions we will ask to only the most important and valuable;

• Quicker reporting times – the 2015 survey will commence a new annual cycle of survey activity designed to ensure faster turn around times between the receipt of responses, and the publication of the analysis; 

• Connected to the European Statements of Hospital Pharmacy – the statements now set out the shared agreement between Europe’s hospital pharmacists, patients and other healthcare professionals about what hospital pharmacy should be in all European countries. The EAHP practice survey will now aim to help our members monitor progress towards their achievement.

To commence the new annual cycle of survey activity, an initial baseline survey of hospital pharmacy practice was conducted in early 2015. From these results a reliable barometer can be made of how year-by-year progress in practice development is being made.
