Even registered medicinal products based on herbal or synthetic cannabinoids, like Sativex, are practically unavailable due to their high cost and narrow scope of application (for example, in Lithuania). However, before the absolute prohibition of medical cannabis in the USSR, in line with Single Convention of 1961, the State Pharmacopoeia of the USSR (eighth edition) published monographs on such medicinal products as "Herba Cannabis indicae", "Extractum Cannabis indicae spissum" and "Fructus Cannabis", which could be prescribed by physicians with precaution. Objectives: Formation of a holistic approach aimed at the creation of appropriate conditions for the development of medical cannabis market and the improvement of life quality and health of Ukrainian patients. Methods: We analyzed legislation and regulation mechanisms for medical cannabis in the USSR, and the present availability of these products for patients in the former USSR, such as Lithuania, Georgia, Estonia, Russian Federation, and Ukraine. Four hundred thirty-five Ukrainian pharmacy students participated in the quantitative analysis (a survey) that took place on April-May, 2019 at Bogomolets National Medical University (Kyiv, Ukraine). They were surveyed about legalization of medical cannabis in Ukraine, advisability of including cannabis and cannabinoids related data into educational programs, and other issues. Qualitative analysis we applied consisted of the stakeholder analysis and Strength, Weakness, Opportunity, and Threat (SWOT) analysis. We classified the key stakeholders into the patients, healthcare professionals, legislative and regulatory bodies, pharmaceutical companies, pharmacies, etc., and ranked them based on their power and interest in the development of potential medical cannabis market in Ukraine. We also identified their expectations and goals. SWOT analysis allows us to evaluate predictable risks and opportunities, as well as strong and weak aspects of the effective development of medical cannabis industry in Ukraine.

The study's main objective is to determine the essential traits of a leader for effective interaction with team members. Background Problems: Most research on this topic chose a leader's traits based on analyzing literary sources rather than on empirical research. Novelty: The traits for the most effective collaboration between leader and team members were chosen by potential and actual members of the leader's team, namely students and teachers of the University. Research Methods: We conducted a questionnaire survey of 103 teachers and 421 Bogomolets National Medical University (Kyiv) students. The statistical analysis was carried out using Wald Test. Finding/Results: The research confirmed that both respondent categories admitted the importance of all leadership traits. At the same time, such traits as passion, effectiveness, self-confidence, determination, and ability to take risks appeared to be more significant for the students than for the teachers. The teachers ranked such a trait as decency higher than the students did. Also, such issues as the importance of organizational culture, ethical aspects of leadership, and the most effective leadership style for productive interaction with team members were examined. Conclusion: This study proposed complex recommendations for creating the most productive model of the interaction between the leader and team members based on the data obtained.

A survey of 745 pharmacists from different regions of Ukraine was conducted. Many pharmacists are wary of the legalization of virtual pharmacies in Ukraine. At the same time, they have a positive attitude regarding such digital tools as free online doctor’s and pharmacist’s consultations and the availability of mobile applications. Almost half of the respondents rate online platforms’ role in pharmacists’ continuous professional development as “very important.” The most popular activities are online testing (70.9%), online training exercised by mentors (51.9%), and corporate webinars (34.6%). Based on the research results, a structured model was developed to improve the customer-centricity of pharmacies within holistic marketing and the process of digitalization.

For this purpose, a survey was conducted, in which 563 Ukrainian pharmacy workers took part. It was revealed that the respondents largely share the "myths" about the dangerous narcotic properties of medical cannabis; two-thirds of them believe that all cannabinoids have psychotropic properties. Pharmacists are poorly aware of medicinal products containing herbal and synthetic cannabinoids, as well as medical indications for their use. Only 14.4% of surveyed pharmacists fully support the manufacture of cannabis preparations on the basis of pharmacies, following the example of the European Union countries. At the same time, almost half of the respondents approve of the legalization of me...
