Pharmabridge is 25 years young and has provided over 175 international placement opportunities across pharmacy practice, education and science. A silver lining of the COVID pandemic has been the development of virtual delivery of healthcare and healthcare education. This presents the opportunity for the highly regarded Pharmabridge programme to provide increased opportunity to offer support and foster global connections and collaborations to strengthen pharmacy practice, education, and science. We welcome past Pharmabridge participants as well as those that would potentially be interested in participating in a virtual placement, either as a guest or as a host.
