What do we offer?

We offer an integration pathway for foreign pharmacists in Dutch pharmacies. The foreign pharmacist is trained to become a Public Pharmacy Expert. The instructors in this program are Dutch pharmacists who work in public pharmacies. Therefore, foreign pharmacists are provided with very practical knowledge that allows them to quickly work at the level of Dutch pharmacies.

During the training (6 months), foreign pharmacists will be available for work in the pharmacies for 3 working days per week and will follow this part-time training for 2 working days per week. The groups in the training consist of 7-9 foreign pharmacists each.

After this training, foreign pharmacists can be employed in Dutch public pharmacies and can fully participate on the work floor. For example, as a pharmacy assistant in prescription processing, but tasks in administration and quality control could also be options.

We look forward to your participation in this project!
