Yes, and it is a moderate move. A specialist pharmacist already covers 67% of what an industrial pharmacist is expected to do: 23 skills carry over, 17 of which the industrial pharmacist role treats as required.

2 required skills are missing, plus 21 optional ones. They fall into 9 areas of the ESCO skill hierarchy, led by management skills. The single most important is pharmaceutical processes.

Its learning distance is 39.9 out of 100, which is the moderate band. That accounts for both how much is missing and how specialised those skills are.
