The Pharmaceutical Care Network Europe (PCNE) was established in 1994 by a number of European pharmaceutical care researchers. It became an official association (under Dutch law) in 2005. The aim of PCNE is to help to develop pharmacy along the lines of pharmaceutical care in the involved European countries through:

• stimulating pharmaceutical care and pharmacy related outcome research in Europe;
• stimulating research and implementation projects carried out in more countries simultaneously;
• organising a bi-annual working conference around pharmaceutical care and pharmacy practice research;
• all other possible activities that serve the aim of the association.
