Programme Introduction
About this programme
💊 Pharmacy Practice
✅ Regulatory & Clinical
📋 Case-Based Learning
Good Pharmacy Practice (GPP) is the professional standard by which pharmacists are expected to deliver safe, ethical, and patient-centered care, whether behind a community counter or inside a hospital pharmacy. In India, GPP principles draw on the framework set by the Pharmacy Council of India alongside international reference standards published by the World Health Organization and the International Pharmaceutical Federation, covering everything from responsible dispensing to rational medicine use and continuing professional development.
For many pharmacy graduates, GPP is learned informally on the job — but gaps in prescription screening, patient counselling, or documentation discipline can have real consequences for patient safety and professional accountability. A structured grounding in GPP closes that gap before it becomes a liability.
TerraLeap’s course walks learners through the Indian GPP framework in practical terms: how to evaluate a prescription correctly, how to counsel a patient on a new medication, how pharmacovigilance reporting fits into daily practice, and what documentation and ethical standards regulators and employers expect.
The programme also situates the pharmacist within India’s broader public-health system, examining how rational drug use and collaborative care fit into everyday community and hospital pharmacy practice.
Clinical and regulatory expertise — built for real pharmacy practice.
