“…In 2019, 14,878 pharmacists renewed their annual licenses (Okafor et al, 2021).

Background: Many professions undergo continuous training to keep abreast of happenings and current trends. Pharmacy is one of such profession; it achieves this by participating in Mandatory continuing professional development (MCPD). MCPDs come in various forms, including seminars, conference attendance, and reading research journals. Aim: This study sets out to assess and explore pharmacists’ attitudes towards continuing education in Nigeria and investigate the perceived barriers that hinder pharmacists from being involved in continuing education (CE) activities. Methods: A validated questionnaire composed of 19 items was shared online among pharmacists practicing in different settings in Nigeria. Descriptive and inferential statistics were used to analyse the variables. Results: A total of 586 pharmacists participated in the study. A high percentage (77.8%) of those who completed the questionnaire strongly agreed that life-long learning is a professional responsibility of all pharmacists to increase their knowledge. A fair number of the participants (52.90%) adopted a positive attitude toward CE, while almost a similar percentage (47.10%) of participants displayed poor attitudes. The main barriers identified were the lack of time (49.10%), the cost of (MCPD) programmes (65.90%), and job constraints (64.80%). Conclusion: This study showed that the attitude of Nigerian Pharmacists toward CE is polarised between positive and negative, with several factors impeding their involvement in CE.

Ada langkah-langkah masih perlu di perhatikan untuk meningkatkan proses pelayanan aplikasi online (Okafor et al, 2021). Dengan begitu harapan-harapan dari program dapat terlaksana semaksimal mungkin untuk mengurangi kekurangan dari program yang ada sekecil mungkin.…”

Kualitas pelayanan publik menjadi salah satu sorotan yang ditujukan kepada pemerintah indonesia yang melayani masyarakat. Karena sistem pelayanan yang berbelit-belit, kompetensi profesionalitas sumber daya manusia masih rendah, ketidakpastian waktu dan biaya. Masalah pada pelayanan ini adalah tujuan tersebut adakalanya berjalan dengan baik dan tidak terlaksana sesuai keinginan, karena DPMPTSP Kota Banda Aceh masih memiliki keluhan atas pelayanan terhadap warga kota Banda Aceh. Metode yang digunakan pada penelitian ini adalah penelitian deskriptif dengan pendekatan kualitatif. analisis data yang digunakan pada penelitian ini adalah triangulasi metode yang terdiri dari berbagai komponen yaitu reduksi data teknik, penyajian data, dan penarikan kesimpulan. Implementasi program pelayanan perizinan online di Dinas Penanaman Modal Dan Pelayanan Terpadu Satu Pintu Kota Banda Aceh ini sudah cukup baik, namun masih perlu dilakukan perbaikan karna ada indikator yang masih belum berjalan dengan baik sehingga menghambat proses pembuatan izin. Beberapa hal terutama pada dimensi reliabilitas masih perlu ditingkatkan. Hal ini dapat dilihat dari beberapa indikator.
