The Faculty of Pharmacy and Food Sciences of the UB and the cooperative Fedefarma will create a pharmacy practical room so that future pharmaceutical professionals meet the reality of community pharmacy from its training period at the Faculty. In this new practical classroom, students will focus on he functioning of the pharmacy, the caring role and pharmaceutical assistance. The room will have an area for theoretical learning and another to carry out practical sessions.

A pharmacy at the Faculty

This room, to be active during the academic year 2021/2022, results from an agreement signed last February by the Faculty of Pharmacy and Food Sciences of the University of Barcelona and Fedefarma. The new room will be designed to reproduce the daily life of a community pharmacy. Fedefarma will provide the new equipment with furniture and necessary requirements so that students can conduct their professional activities.

In this context, students will learn about the management program of the cooperative and will work with business intelligence tools –specifically Bisualfarma– to know about the indicators of the activity and adjust the positioning and maximize the profitability of pharmaceutical management. In addition, they will discover how healthcare campaigns are introduced to the pharmacy through the cooperative’s healthcare campaigns, among others.
