Background: Pharmacy practice research publications has increased significantly in the last decade. This is also true for Middle Eastern countries.

Aims: The aim of this study was to document and review pharmacy practice literature in the Middle Eastern Arab countries.

Materials and methods: A scoping review was conducted using PRISMA-ScR guidelines. Medline/PubMed and Scopus were used to screen the articles. All published original research articles concerning any facet of pharmacy practice in 12 Arabic Middle Eastern countries during 2009-2019 were included. A thematic analysis was performed to classify the articles.

Results: Nine hundred and eighty-one articles were included in this study. Eight themes emerged from the selected articles. Medication use was the predominant theme 30.78% (302), followed by pharmacy practice and pharmacist services 22.94% (225), and then pharmacy education and professional development 16.31% (160). The KSA, Jordan, Qatar, and the UAE were the leading countries to publish pharmacy practice research.

Conclusions: Pharmacy practice research is growing and significantly adding to enhance pharmaceutical health services in the Middle East Region. There is a need to develop a research agenda. This will help in enriching the practice, as well as to avoid repetitive ideas.

Keywords: Middle East; Pharmacy practice; Pharmacy practice research.

Our department is one of the UK’s leading research hubs in pharmaceutical science, whose output is consistently ranked among the very best in the field. Research in pharmaceutical and pharmacological sciences touches all aspects of the design and use of drugs and medicines. These include drug discovery, formulation and delivery, neuroscience, regenerative medicine, immunology, infection and immunity, pharmacoepidemiology and pharmacy practice. Study in these areas provides the chance to experience cutting edge research that is directly relevant to some of today’s major challenges in healthcare and the pharmaceutical industry. Our graduates have gone on to work in academic positions in the UK, Egypt, Saudi-Arabia, Thailand, as well as positions in pharmaceutical industry research, regulatory affairs, academic publishing, management positions in UK research councils, recruitment consultancy, medical practitioners. Most students complete this programme in 4 years. You cannot take less than 2 years to finish your research and the maximum time you are allowed is normally 4 years. Most research students who ‘do a PhD’ register in the first instance as probationer for the degree of PhD. Candidates are expected to carry out supervised research at the leading edge of their chosen subject, which must then be written up as a substantial thesis. The confirmation of the PhD programme (and the end of the probationary period) is subject to students passing an assessment process, which normally involves submission of written work and on oral examination which usually takes place 12 months after the initial registration.

The initiation of the DDDE Hub is predicated on UB SPPS decades long research leadership in pharmacokinetics, pharmacodynamics, and systems pharmacology. This long history, along with recent significant school-wide research growth [26% growth in year-to-date research funding per American Association of Colleges of Pharmacy FY 2023 research data], will provide a strong foundation for the school and faculty to continue pioneering research in drug discovery, development and evaluative science. 

For over 135 years, the University at Buffalo School of Pharmacy and Pharmaceutical Sciences has continually been a leader in the education of pharmacists and pharmaceutical scientists, renowned for innovation in clinical practice and research. The school is accredited by the American Council of Pharmaceutical Education and is the No. 1 ranked school of pharmacy in New York State and No. 19 in the United States by U.S. News & World Report.
