The profession of pharmacist is one of the few professions whose attributions are legally regulated and published in the Official State Gazette (Law 44/2003, of 21 November, on the Regulation of Health Professions, BOE 22-11-2003).
Many of these duties are exclusive to pharmacists and cannot be carried out by any other professional. Graduates in Pharmacy are experts in everything related to drugs and medicines, both in their chemical and biological aspects and in their application in healthcare, and are therefore responsible for activities aimed at the production, conservation and dispensing of medicines, as well as collaboration in analytical, pharmacotherapeutic and public health monitoring processes.
The Bachelor's Degree in Pharmacy has high employment prospects due to its multidisciplinary nature, enabling graduates to work in a wide range of job opportunities in the labour market.
In addition to community pharmacy, graduates are qualified to work in the distribution of medicines, in the pharmaceutical, food, cosmetics, medical devices, orthopaedics, hospital pharmacy, clinical analysis, environmental health, professional and business associations, in hospital and non-hospital specialisations, in health analysis laboratories, in health management and in teaching and research activities. Specifically, they can access public administration bodies, whose access is exclusive to pharmacists, such as the body of head pharmacists, pharmaceutical inspectors of the public health and health planning services of the autonomous communities, primary care pharmacists or military pharmacists, among others.
