<h3>Background and Importance</h3> The European Statements of Hospital Pharmacy recommend <i>‘A European-wide framework for initial post graduate education and training in hospital pharmacy with an assessment of individual competence is essential’</i>.<sup>1</sup> To facilitate the development of evidence-informed recommendations for improving hospital pharmacist education, national data outlining current practice were required. <h3>Aim and Objectives</h3> Evaluate current standards of practice relating to education within hospital pharmacy. Outline perceived barriers to pharmacist engagement in education. <h3>Material and Methods</h3> A national online survey was developed and distributed to hospital pharmacy managers between May and August 2025 inclusive. The survey was distributed via various methods, including central emailing lists and contacts of the research team. Survey questions addressed Staffing structures. Current levels of education provided. Types of educational activities conducted. Perceived gaps in hospital pharmacist education. Barriers to engagement in pharmacist education. Responses results were analysed descriptively. <h3>Results</h3> Fifty-five (65%) pharmacy managers responded. Key findings included: Only 27% of participants reported having a pharmacist responsible for education. Almost two–thirds (63%) reported having a structured induction for pharmacists. Pharmacist induction included dispensary training (91%), clinical training (85%), and corporate induction (79%). Over three–quarters (79%) of inductions lasted <6 weeks. Seventy percent (70%) provided ongoing departmental education, most through journal clubs (77%), case presentations (60%), and near–miss/error meetings (57%). Over two–thirds (69%) of institutions currently support pharmacists on postgraduate courses, mostly in clinical pharmacy (86%) Formal education was provided by pharmacy to nursing (88%), medical (76%) and allied health professionals (33%), as well as undergraduate (47%) and postgraduate (27%) pharmacy students. Perceived gaps in hospital pharmacy education included advanced practice, inpatient and outpatient medication reviews, and clinical skills. Reported barriers to hospital pharmacy education include lack of funding, time constraints, workload and lack of a structured competency framework specific to hospital pharmacy practice. <h3>Conclusion and Relevance</h3> Hospital pharmacy departments display significant commitment to, and engagement with, education activities nationally. Efforts to introduce a standardised hospital-specific competency framework for new-to-hospital pharmacists, and validated accreditation for advanced practice will help further facilitate this. <h3>References and/or Acknowledgements</h3> 1.
