Finally, the pharmacy skills laboratory at the faculty of nursing and midwifery was established. Over the course of 2 year since the launch of this laboratory, the educational environment has been used, to train approximately 250 students (undergraduate and postgraduate students in nursing, undergraduate students in anaesthesiology, and medicine)
