For many years pharmacy education was based on the study of a number of classic basic and applied sciences such as chemistry, mathematics, pharmaceutics, pharmacognosy and pharmacology. Students were then examined separately in these different disciplines. It is only fairly recently that pharmacy practice and pharmaceutical care have been introduced as integral parts of the pharmacy curriculum. Attempts at finding the best way to test the competence of pharmacy students were made at roughly the same time.

Practical Pharmaceutics covers such a vast area that the production of the book would have taken many more years to complete if the Dutch starting reference work had not been there as a basis. Its first edition, edited by Harry Cox, Gerad Bolhuis and Jan Zuidema, was published in 1992 as a gift of the Dutch Pharmacists Association KNMP to their members on the occasion of the 150th anniversary. It has been used since at both universities in the Netherlands offering the Pharmacy curriculum. The fifth edition from 2009 forms the basis of Practical Pharmaceutics.
