    • To integrate practical software development into pharmacy education.

    Main Methods:

    • A structured course combining classroom theory and practical application.
    • Development of a software program by students.
    • Program evaluation through review and discussion.
    • Presentation of a program flowchart.

    Main Results:

    • Final year pharmacy students successfully engaged with computerisation concepts.
    • A practical, hands-on approach facilitated learning.
    • Pharmacists, even with minimal programming background, can create useful software.
    • The developed system met specific pharmacy needs.

    Conclusions:

    • Pharmacy computerisation education is achievable and beneficial for students.
    • Pharmacists possess the capability to develop bespoke software solutions.
    • This educational model enhances practical skills for modern pharmacy practice.
