Abstract
Introduction: The concept “Pharmaceutical care” is a new philosophy for Bulgarian community pharmacy practice. Beginning in 2000, a new course in pharmaceutical care was introduced in the curriculum of the Faculty of Pharmacy, Sofia, Bulgaria. Later its status changed from free to compulsory and was included in the National Education regulation for higher pharmaceutical education. The newly graduated pharmacists are making their first attempts to introduce this knowledge into practice.Aim: This study was designed to evaluate two criteria; the applicability of pharmaceutical care standards to Bulgarian pharmacies and their importance for the patient.Results: The results from two questionnaires show that practicing pharmacists appraise the pharmaceutical care standards for pharmacy practice as applicable and are interested in applying these standards if a legal regulation is introduced.Conclusion: Pharmacists are better prepared to implement pharmaceutical care practice and standards in Bulgarian community pharmacy.
