The subject of clinical pharmacy as \"patient-oriented pharmacy\" aims to optimize patient medication and drug therapy safety and thus to improve the health and quality of life of patients. In addition, by expanding the teaching content, the basis for interprofessional collaboration with physicians is already laid during the training. Teaching formats, such as exercises on case reports and prescription examples in small student groups or objective structured clinical examinations (OSCEs), can convey the interprofessional concept during the courses. At the Philipps University of Marburg, students from the faculties of medicine and pharmacy study together in interprofessional and interdisciplinary projects such as \"Medicine meets Pharmacy.\" Here, both the medical perspective on patients and their illnesses and the pharmaceutical perspectives on drug therapy and drug risks with various side effects and interactions are considered.

New technologies, scientific progress, and global challenges have an important influence on the content of pharmacist education, which is taken on board at very different speeds.

In particular, these include the transparent presentation of the German vaccination system on the NaLI website, the National Action Plan for the Elimination of Measles and Rubella published in 2015, and a concept for HPV vaccination currently being developed by the NaLI.In recent years, some of the goals of the National Vaccination Plan have been achieved and many aspects have evolved. The NaLI therefore intends to revise the plan, taking into account the experience gained during its implementation and new scientific evidence. International policies and targets, in particular the European Immunization Agenda 2030, provide important guidance. The agenda sets targets that go beyond achieving specific immunization coverage levels. It focuses on equitable access to immunization, the concept of immunization delivery across the life course, and the control of outbreaks of vaccine-preventable diseases.
