Summary
A consensus statement identified 44 essential competencies for community pharmacists in Thailand. These competencies cover personal, professional, patient care, and management domains, ensuring high standards in pharmaceutical practice.
Area of Science:
- Pharmacy Practice
- Health Workforce Development
Background:
- Community pharmacy is a vital part of Thailand's healthcare system.
- Defining clear competencies is crucial for professional development and quality patient care.
Purpose of the Study:
- To establish a consensus statement on essential competencies for community pharmacists in Thailand.
- To guide professional standards and educational programs for pharmacists.
Main Methods:
- A modified Delphi process involving 18 experts from 6 stakeholder groups was employed.
- Two rounds of expert மதிப்பீடு (rating) using Likert scales and inclusion/exclusion criteria were conducted.
- A consensus of 80% or more was required to retain a competency.
Main Results:
- An initial list of 55 competencies was evaluated.
- Eleven competencies were eliminated after the second round of expert review.
- A final list of 44 competencies, categorized into four domains, was established.
Conclusions:
- The finalized competencies encompass personal, pharmacy professional, patient care, and management domains.
- Key competencies include accountability, patient care, disease prevention, health promotion, and ethical business practices.
- This consensus statement provides a framework for enhancing community pharmacy services in Thailand.

Drugs, the chemical agents used in diagnosing, treating, or preventing diseases, undergo a four-phase process of development: pharmaceutic, pharmacokinetics, pharmacodynamics, and therapeutic.
The pharmaceutical phase focuses on leveraging the physicochemical properties of the drug to design and manufacture an effective product. Variants include orally administered tablets or capsules, topical creams or ointments, and parenteral-delivery solutions or emulsions.

The three-compartment open model is a pharmacokinetic model used to describe the distribution and elimination of drugs following extravascular administration. It comprises a central compartment representing the plasma and two peripheral compartments. The highly perfused peripheral compartment represents organs and tissues with a rich blood supply, such as the liver, kidneys, and lungs. The scarcely perfused peripheral compartment represents tissues with lower blood supply, such as adipose...
