Abstract
To assess the potential for a regional competency framework for pharmacists in the Western Pacific using the Global Competency Framework (GbCF) as a reference. Mixed-methods approach used a self-administered survey and semi-structured interviews of 13 countries to evaluate the perceived benefits, existence and content of competency frameworks. Variations in structure, components and emphasis of the four frameworks that do exist indicate significant tailoring to local requirements. Based on these four and the GbCF, 32 competencies allocated into four themes has been proposed. Varying national requirements mitigate against a single regional competency framework.
