EPhEU (European Association of Employed Community Pharmacists in Europe) is the first European-wide organisation representing the interests of employed community pharmacists.
For national professional associations in member states of the European Union, it has become absolutely necessary to look across their national borders: for organisations representing the interests of employed community pharmacists, the European fundamental principles for regulations on working time, for studying pharmacy and for continuing professional development of pharmacists are as important, as the regulations about the freedom of establishment, the recognition of the professional qualification and those about distance selling.
Since 2014, EPhEU is Observer member of FIP (International Pharmaceutical Federation).
1. Advocate and protect the interests of community employee pharmacists.
2. Promoting and developing communication and sharing experiences and collaboration between community pharmacists as well as their representative organisations across Europe.
3. Improving health outcomes by advancing pharmacy education, practice, pharmaceutical care, population health and health promotion.

Following the statues of EPHEU there are two types of members: Ordinary members and Observer members.
All members are entitled to take part in the General Assembly. Only Ordinary Members are entitled to vote.
Only legal entities, which are national professional organizations representing employed community pharmacists, may be admitted as Ordinary Members of the Association. These organisations must have their seat in Europe.
Observer Members are natural persons or legal entities under private or public law, which promote the activities of EPhEU, but can neither be themselves an Ordinary Member, nor be represented by an Ordinary Member following these statutes.
