To implement a new professional service, a lot of choices have to be made. This interactive education tool provides a step by step approach to developing national implementation plans for professional programmes. Generalised from the EuroPharm Forum pharmacy-based service programmes, the CD-ROM has been designed to stimulate and support practicing pharmacists, health professionals, universities and pharmacy schools as they disseminate and implement best practices in any type of public health services.
 
The CD-ROM toolbox collates all the EuroPharm Forum model programmes and includes four central elements, i.e. a fictive case study, a real case study, the Forum guidelines and instruments, and country materials (latest gathered in summer 2008).

The toolbox is mainly designed for practising pharmacists, decision-makers and pharmacy group managers, but is applicable for any practising health professional. Other main audiences are universities, pharmacy schools and educational and training centres for health professionals.

A limited number of CD-ROMs are available from the Secretariat. An updated version of the CD-ROM was prepared in August 2008.
