This paper presents the results of the second European Delphi round on the ranking\nof competences for pharmacy practice and compares these data to those of the first round\nalready published. A comparison of the numbers of respondents, distribution by age group,\ncountry of residence, etc., shows that whilst the student population of respondents changed from\nRound 1 to 2, the populations of the professional groups (community, hospital and industrial\npharmacists, pharmacists in other occupations and academics) were more stable. Results are given\nfor the consensus of ranking and the scores of ranking of 50 competences for pharmacy practice.\nThis two-stage, large-scale Delphi process harmonized and validated the Quality Assurance in\nEuropean Pharmacy Education and Training (PHAR-QA) framework and ensured the adoption\nby the pharmacy profession of a framework proposed by the academic pharmacy community.\nThe process of evaluation and validation of ranking of competences by the pharmacy profession\nis now complete, and the PHAR-QA consortium will now put forward a definitive PHAR-QA\nframework of competences for pharmacy practice.
