BAU Accreditation
Accrediting pharmacy programs ensure that graduates are ‘suitably trained and qualified’.
We accredit programs by reviewing them to confirm that they meet clear, evidence-based standards. This ensures that program graduates can practise pharmacy safely and effectively.
The APC accredits:
21 pharmacy degree programs providers
7 intern training programs
5 CPD accrediting organisations
There were no degree programs that underwent re-accreditation in 2019-20.

Who makes the decisions?
The Accreditation Committee met several times during the year to make accreditation decisions about pharmacy degree programs, Intern Training Programs (ITPs) and Continuing Professional Development (CPD) accrediting organisations to ensure the continual delivery of high-quality pharmacy training.
How do we accredit Degree and Intern Training Programs?
A Site Evaluation Team (SET) is an experienced team of people who assess pharmacy programs against our accreditation standards. They then prepare a SET report of their findings. The Accreditation Committee uses this report when they make their final accreditation decision.
SETs include qualified and experienced pharmacy academics and practitioners.
We sent an expression of interest out for new SET members to join our register. We received over 50 applications.
