Pharmaceutical system with its subsystems, components and elements of separate organizational management segments, including human resources, was and remains an integral part of the concept of the healthcare system development in Ukraine.The modern concept of development of pharmaceutical industry in Ukraine requires knowledge of its historical development, including the elements of the optimal use of pharmacy human resources (PHR), implementation and adaptation of its work associated with introduction of family, insurance medicine, the use of the positive experience of the previous years [1][2][3][4][5][6][7][8][9][10][11][12][13][14][15][16].
In the works by I.M.Gubskiy, M.V.Slabyi it was noted that the system analytical information regarding a comprehensive study of the pharmaceutical staff training and distribution of pharmaceutists and pharmacists, as well as determination of their needs over the previous years was almost absent.Since independence of Ukraine exactly the comprehensive analysis of distribution of these professionals was carried out only as of 01.01.1993 [1,[6][7][8].However, the multidimensional studies of educational training, the condition and the process of functioning of the pharmacy personnel in Ukraine were conducted by I.M.Gubskiy, D.S.Volokh, О.L.Hrom, О.М.Zalis'ka, А.А.Kotvitska, Т.М.Krasnyanska, Z.М.Mnushko, А.S.Nemchenko, B.L.Parnovskiy, R.М.Pinyazhko, М.S.Ponomarenko, M.V.Slabyi, М.L.Syatynya, V.М.Tolochko, V.P.Chernykh and some other researchers.They highlighted many valuable points of the staffing history and the theory of training, as well as formation of the personnel potential of Ukraine.However, these studies require prolongation in order to solve current innovative problems of education and retraining, improvement of the personnel, appropriate legislation and implementation regulations according to the EU requirements.
