Abstract: In the last few decades, pharmacy services have expanded to fulfil the need for more complex health needs from population worldwide. Moving from ‘product‐centred’ to a ‘patient‐centred’ profession, pharmacists are required to master more professional competencies to deliver high quality pharmaceutical services to their patients and community. In Kuwait pharmacy practice has long been identified as a sector yet to be developed. With the announcement of the ‘new Kuwait vision 2035’ planning for pharmacy practice and workforce development and improvement has become imperative. Academic, professional, and regulatory bodies have collaborated to shape the future of pharmacy profession in the country. The approach described here reflects the initial steps for transforming and advancing the pharmacy profession in Kuwait.
