Pharmacists in pharmacies can evaluate professional titles
At present, "pharmacy personnel evaluation of senior professional titles" is becoming a national trend. The reason why pharmacy personnel can be rated as senior professional titles is closely related to national and local policies.
According to the Provisions on the Professional Qualification System for Licensed Pharmacists issued by the State Food and Drug Administration in 2019, professional and technical personnel who obtain the professional qualification of licensed pharmacists can be recognized as having the professional title of competent pharmacist or competent Chinese medicine practitioner, and can be used as a condition for declaring a higher professional title.
In addition, Hunan, Guangdong, Jiangsu, Shaanxi, Sichuan, Henan, Jilin and other provinces issued documents stating that licensed pharmacists can assess senior professional titles, and some provinces have also clarified the corresponding conditions for pharmacists to declare junior professional titles, intermediate professional titles and senior professional titles.
For example, according to the "Basic Conditions for the Application and Review of Non-clinical Pharmacy Professional and Technical Titles in Sichuan Province (Trial) (Draft for Comment)" published by the Sichuan Provincial Food and Drug Administration in September 2022, on-the-job professional and technical personnel (including pharmacists) in pharmacies can apply for non-clinical pharmacy professional and technical personnel with primary, intermediate and senior professional titles.
It is reported that the junior professional title is divided into the staff level and the assistant level, and the senior professional title is divided into deputy senior and full senior, and the names are pharmacist, pharmacist, pharmacist in charge, deputy chief pharmacist, and chief pharmacist.

Licensed pharmacists evaluate professional titles, and there is a greater chance of salary increases
In fact, pharmacists and other personnel have been evaluating the corresponding professional titles, and the relevant departments of the state have been brewing for a long time.
In 2016, the General Office of the CPC Central Committee and the General Office of the State Council issued the Opinions on Deepening the Reform of the Title System, requiring all regions and departments to conscientiously implement it in light of actual conditions, improve the evaluation standards for professional titles, and improve the professional title system system.
Subsequently, the Shanghai Municipal Bureau of Human Resources and Social Security issued the Notice on the Measures for the Correspondence of Qualifications and Professional Titles of Some Professional and Technical Occupations, which for the first time corresponded the professional qualifications of licensed pharmacists to professional titles, and stated that licensed pharmacists have the professional titles of competent pharmacist or competent traditional Chinese medicine practitioner.
Why should licensed pharmacists be corresponded to professional title pharmacists? Wang Qiaotong, head of the pharmacy talent pool, said that licensed pharmacists and professional title pharmacists are on an equal footing, and their social status has been greatly improved, which is conducive to the development of social pharmacy services. In addition, this point is also highlighted in the upcoming Pharmacist Law.
After the social status of licensed pharmacists is improved, the corresponding salary will also be further increased. However, pharmacies are different from hospitals, they need to bear their own profits and losses, the salary increase of licensed pharmacists will not be too large, but they will obtain sufficient flexible space, and licensed pharmacists with excellent abilities must be welcomed by the people.
Some pharmacists pointed out that it is precisely because the current treatment of licensed pharmacists is relatively low, it is difficult to solve the problems of pharmacy registration and uneven distribution of licensed pharmacists' resources.
In addition, the people's concept of medication is relatively backward, and they have not realized the importance of safe drug use, thus ignoring the social value of pharmacists and hospital pharmacists, resulting in insufficient social demand for pharmaceutical services, which needs to be further excavated and released.
