Abstract:	INTRODUCTION : Community pharmacy practice in Europe has evolved from a dispensing-focused model to a clinically oriented, patient-centred profession supported by structured competency frameworks, experiential education and integration within primary care systems. In Mauritius, community pharmacy remains largely product-focused, with limited formal recognition of pharmacist-led clinical services. AIMS : This study aims to explore how differences in regulatory and organisational frameworks influence professional roles and examines the implications for pharmacy education and curriculum development.
