The ultimate guiding mission of all involved in the common training framework project is to enhance the quality of, safety of, and equity of access to, patient care in every European country. The hospital pharmacist’s role in achieving this mission cannot be realised without fundamental educational underpinning to advanced practice.

The 44 European Statements of Hospital Pharmacy, agreed via EAHP’s national member country platforms, and in partnership with European patient and healthcare professional organisations, set out the vision of what hospital pharmacy should aspire to achieve in all countries.

CTF meaningurban dictionary

By agreeing at a pan-European level the framework of competencies required to achieve the European Statements of Hospital Pharmacy, all countries can have clarity, and a benchmark, as to what education is necessary to underpin the highest performance of their hospital pharmacy profession. In short, the path to improvement is further illuminated.

The Common Training Framework (CTF) is a legal tool to achieve automatic professional qualification recognition across EU countries, meaning that learning outcomes and competencies received in one European country are recognized throughout Europe.

SightGlass Vision™ spectacle lenses powered by Diffusion Optics Technology™ are clinically shown to slow myopia progression in children from as young as 6 years old.1

Use mild dish soap, microfiber cloths or spectacle lens cleaning wipes. Keep in a case when not wearing. Adjust and replace as necessary.

CTF meaningMedical

If you are short-sighted, you see well nearby, while your distant vision is blurred. This blurred vision is because your eye grows so much in axial length that the image you are looking at is no longer depicted on the retina, but in front of it. Your eye is, as it were, too long. If the eye even grows longer (high myopic) short-sighted children are at a much higher risk later in life of serious myopia related eye problems such as retinal detachments and myopic macular degeneration, as well as the lifestyle impact of higher prescriptions. Especially with younger children this growth is going fast.2

Act early to slow myopia progression. Follow the training, registrer for the webinar and learn more about how to apply SightGlass Vision™ in your practice.

Suitable for children 6 years old and up, SightGlass Vision™ lenses with Diffusion Optics Technology™ are your first step in helping to slow myopia in your child.1 Start early to reduce future eye health risks.

An eventual common training framework of legal standing will achieve a step towards change in hospital pharmacist labour mobility and open new doors to the sharing of best practices, knowledge and improvement opportunities.

The common training framework is an initiative led by the European Association of Hospital Pharmacists and conducted from amongst its membership, the 35 country platforms representing hospital pharmacists at the national level.

SightGlass Vision™ spectacle lenses with Diffusion Optics Technology™ is a new and unique lens technology which reduces contrast to help slow axial elongation in myopia. These special glasses slow the myopia progression by 59% on average with children wearing the glasses full time for 2 years.1

The unique design of SightGlass Vision spectacle lenses has a special clear aperture. This central clear aperture provides unfiltered vision when extra fine, near vision detail is needed. SightGlass Vision spectacles lenses help scatter light, reducing retinal contrast which helps slow abnormal growth in young eyes.34

A common training framework for hospital pharmacy will represent an important international agreement on the competencies, knowledge, skills and attitudes required by the profession to deliver on the 44 European Statements of Hospital Pharmacy. Thereafter, it is intended that the common training framework will be initially used as a flexible tool for hospital pharmacy development across Europe, fully reflecting national and regional realities. This includes being:

What is now required are the tools for the profession to achieve this vision, and uppermost among these is the educational background to fulfill tasks that go above and beyond that provided for in the initial MPharm qualification. These include such areas as medicines production and compounding, interface management, rare diseases, advanced therapies and the conduct of clinical trials.

SightGlass Vision lenses are a medical device indicated for the correction of refractive ametropia (myopia and/or astigmatism) and for the reduction of the degree/rate of myopia progression in phakic children aged 6 to 12 years with healthy eyes. SightGlass Vision lenses must be worn continuously for all activities, except those described in WARNINGS, as prescribed by your eye care specialist (minimum of 10 hours per day). Read the patient user guide carefully. When recommending SGV lenses for children under the age of 8, follow the established eye care guidelines of your country.

Children should be encouraged to wear their glasses constantly including for all indoor and near vision activities.SightGlass Vision spectacle lenses should be worn a minimum of 10 hours a day. Avoid using glasses for high impact sporting activities, such as soccer or basketball. Ask your eye care professional about sports glasses.

Research shows that children are nearsighted or becoming nearsighted younger than ever before.5 Often nearsightedness is seen as "one of those things" that happens as a child grows up. The younger a child becomes nearsighted, the more likely it is that in adulthood, glasses will be stronger to see well.67 Want to learn more about nearsightedness?  Read more!

SightGlass Vision™ spectacle lenses with unique Diffusion Optics Technology™ have a clear aperture in the middle of the lenses. It clinically appeared that SightGlass Vision™ spectacle lenses slow the progression of children from 6 years. Therefore, it is possible to start early with the treatment if necessary.1

In the longer term, it is hoped that ongoing and enhanced agreement between countries on the competencies required for practice of hospital pharmacy may present new opportunities for labour mobility.
