“…Besides, rate between respondents and whole active CPs are similar to other surveys conducted among CPs 3 but inferior to others. 5 There is a lack of information, since Google Form does not allow to know the mean compilation time and the rate of interruptions during compilation, nor the authors could obtain data about the overall rate of response. However, the authors' purpose was to develop a brief and easy-to-compile questionnaire in order to obtain a large number of answers and avoid compiling interruption, and this objective has been achieved.…”

“…2 Also, surveys have already been administered to community pharmacists (CPs) in order to assess their awareness on their role in COVID-19 crisis 3 and their preparedness and response to pandemic. 4,5 However, in Italy it is still unknown the impact of the virus outbreak on CPs, given the lack of data disclosed by Italian National Institute of Health statistics on this particular category of HCWs. Since the beginning of the pandemic, Italian community pharmacies and over-the-counter (OTC) drugstores have been considered as a primary service and therefore did not undergo lockdown, 6 thus increasing the risk of developing COVID-19.…”

Introduction: Since the beginning of the 2020 Sars-CoV-2 Italian outbreak, healthcare workers have been among the most exposed categories. There is little information about community pharmacists' on occupational exposure, symptoms development, and testing practices in the community pharmacist cohort. Methods: Between April 30th and May 10th, a questionnaire was administered through social media to Italian community pharmacists. From 67000 pharmacists currently working in community pharmacies, 1632 answered the survey. Results: The survey population reflected the general Italian community pharmacists population in terms of age, gender, and number of co-workers. Protective measures were adopted in up to 99.9% of pharmacies. 624 pharmacists (38.2%) developed at least one COVID-19 related symptom in the period between February 28th and May 10th. Also, 102 pharmacists (6.2%) were tested for COVID-19 and 15, the 15% of the tested population and 0.92% of the whole survey population, resulted positive on nasopharyngeal swab. However, while the number of symptomatic pharmacists decreased, a higher number of tests were performed, thus COVID-19 prevalence among community pharmacists could have been underestimated and is probably intermediate between other healthcare workers and the general population (0.31%). Conclusion: Community pharmacists have probably been one of the first categories to experience increased contact risk to SARS-CoV-2. COVID-19 prevalence among pharmacists could have been underestimated. In addition, the rates of protection measures adoption might have helped to reduce the spread of COVID-19 among coworkers and the community.

“…Only 3% of the global education spends is digital platform and by 2025 the digital spend will be $325 billion, which is less than 5% of the global education spend [35,36]. The present challenges faced by the government are the seamless delivery of education in the post-covidian direction of digital education, but this will be a far cure for the education disorders in the country [37]. The UGC is in the process of developing a game-changing policy where the universities that have a high 'NAAC' score among the top 100 NIRF rankings will be permitted to offer online programs.…”

People in every country became exposed to COVID-19 pandemic and cannot able to find a right solution and strategies to overcome from it. Pharmacy is the most important, dynamic and versatile health care profession in the world, whereas its scope and importance are always being emerging at any situation. Pharmacy professionals (PPs) working proactively for the public even in this pandemic situation. Since dependency is high, the responsibility and preference also high for PPs especially in this pandemic situation. Current status in pharmacy education and emerging future challenges of PPs in all aspects, particularly in thispandemic situation were addressed based on observational studies among various pharma industries and published news of Pharmacy Council of India (PCI). While in the development phase it has crossed many barriers, not only in the economic level,but also involves regulations, duration, process controls, legal hurdles and situational defects. The purpose of this review discusses the evolution and updates in pharmacy, education, pharmacy practice, regulations, and types of challenges along with recommendations for PPs in India in light of the COVID-19 pandemic. This review was carried out to summarize knowledge about the updates and challenges in pharmacy professions in all aspects. Sources were retrieved from relevant guidelines and published articles in Google scholar, Pubmed and Science direct of articles up to June 2020. The keywords used for gathering information were listed below.

“…The authors used several electronic tools to develop and deploy novel electronic data collection forms (i.e., e-forms/surveys) [4,[16][17][18][19][20][21][22][23]. In our experiences, we found that these 'e-form/survey' programs required little-to-no informatics training and were often accessible via desktop computers, tablets and other mobile devices alike.…”

Despite the importance of pharmacy practice-based research in generating knowledge that results in better outcomes for patients, health systems and society alike, common challenges to PPBR persist. Herein, we authors describe PPBR challenges our research teams have encountered, and our experiences using technology-driven solutions to overcome such challenges. Notably, limited financial resources reduce the time available for clinicians and researchers to participate in study activities; therefore, resource allocation must be optimized. We authors have also encountered primary data collection challenges due to unique data needs and data access/ownership issues. Moreover, we have experienced a wide geographic dispersion of study practices and collaborating researchers; a lack of trained, on-site research personnel; and the identification and enrollment of participants meeting study eligibility criteria. To address these PPBR challenges, we authors have begun to turn to technology-driven solutions, as described here.
