EPSA | Transforming Health Education: joint commitment of European stakeholders for improving competencies to support behaviour change in persons self-managing chronic diseases

• EPSA shared additional feedback (This sentence is more of a public statement, to show the involvement EAHP already has regarding the improvement of competencies, for example by working on the Professional Qualification Directive. This would also entail your support on projects that would involve pharmaceutical skills and education, as you have been doing for example by endorsing EPSA’s Methodology Booklet. Finally, this would also entail you support the curriculum and propositions made by the Train4Health Project, that you can find on their website : https://www.train4health.eu/). @ PH does this answer your question?
