Yes, and it is a substantial move. A hospital pharmacist already covers 45% of what an industrial pharmacist is expected to do: 18 skills carry over, 10 of which the industrial pharmacist role treats as required.

9 required skills are missing, plus 19 optional ones. They fall into 10 areas of the ESCO skill hierarchy, led by natural sciences, mathematics and statistics. The single most important is pharmaceutical processes.

Its learning distance is 59.4 out of 100, which is the substantial band. That accounts for both how much is missing and how specialised those skills are.
