Medicine shortages and hospital pharmacists

Fighting medicines shortages takes a team. 

When a critical medicine becomes unavailable, hospital pharmacists act fast. They assess risks, develop substitution protocols, and work with doctors to keep patients safe.

Hospital pharmacists across Europe collaborate to track high-risk medicines, share guidance, and even compound medicines when needed - ensuring hospitals can continue delivering life-saving treatments despite shortages.

They are key players in the European effort to manage and prevent medicine shortages.
