Specialisation
In Austria it is possible, but not mandatory to complete the Weiterbildung zum Krankenhausfachapotheker to improve hospital pharmacy practice. This 3 year course is conducted at the place of work and also requires at least 240 hours of additional study in areas including management, production and clinical pharmacy. Each area consists of 1-3 day seminars on hospital pharmacy relevant issues (e.g. team building, communication, controlling etc. as sub-topics in the management area)
More information can be found on the AAHP website, in the document entitled Hospital Pharmacy in Europe (2000) and the EAHP Austrian highlights presentation in Vienna (2011).
