Using the Internet to develop an international learning community of pharmacists.

Until recent years, the level of interaction across a profession, necessary to provide for an optimum learning environment which supports professional development, has only been significantly possible in face-to-face interaction and has therefore been place and time dependent. With the explosive development of the internet, communication barriers are breaking down and international interaction, networking and collaboration is becoming increasingly possible. This short report describes the manner in which an Internet-based postgraduate study programme, entitled "Enhancing Pharmacy Practice" has made use of these communication opportunities to develop an international learning community of pharmacists. Programme evaluation data collected from surveys completed online by participants and content analysis of online discussion groups during the first four modules of the programme, demonstrates that there is a high level of interaction amongst participants. It also suggests that this interaction has contributed to the learning experience and professional growth of the participants and impacted positively upon their practice.

OBJECTIVE: E-pharmacies are web sites selling prescription-only medicines and other products including non-prescription and complementary medicines to consumers via the internet. This study aims to evaluate the quality of global e-pharmacies, discuss whether e-pharmacies support the safe and appropriate use of medicines, and consider how we can protect consumers in the future. METHODS: A survey of public information published on global e-pharmacy web sites was conducted between July and September 2001. We used a meta-search engine, Copernic, and the search terms of 'online' or 'internet', and 'pharmacy', 'pharmacies' and 'medicines' to identify a sampling frame of global e-pharmacies. We surveyed all web sites in the sampling frame except those under construction or only offering electronic refills, members-only and non-English web sites. Survey data included country of origin, range of medicines sold, prescription requirements, availability of online medical consultations and pharmacists' advice, quality accreditation seals, policies and advertisements. RESULTS: E-pharmacies operated in at least 13 countries; however, the country of origin could not be identified for 22 web sites. Twenty web sites (19%) appeared to supply prescription-only medicines with no prescription required. Only 12% of e-pharmacies displayed quality accreditation seals. We observed information published on e-pharmacy web sites that potentially undermines the safe and appropriate use of medicines. CONCLUSION: Safeguarding consumers and ensuring the quality of web sites that sell medicines across state and national boundaries is both complex and difficult. Strategies to improve the quality of e-pharmacies include independent third-party regulation of providers, evaluation and enforcement of sanctions in cases of dissemination of fraudulent or harmful information and practices, self-regulation and consumer education. The development of internet regulatory technologies themselves and the resolution of jurisdictional issues offer future solutions but international co-operation is vital.
