Is MOHAP the right licence?
MOHAP covers emirates such as Sharjah, Ajman, Umm Al Quwain, Ras Al Khaimah and Fujairah. Abu Dhabi is licensed by DOH and Dubai by DHA. Check where your intended employer is and which licence it needs before you apply, since arrangements can change.
Topics to prioritise

- Chronic disease management in community pharmacy.
- Antimicrobials and vaccination schedules.

- Pharmacy practice: storage, cold chain, controlled drugs and dispensing safety.
A six-week plan
- Weeks 1–3: therapeutics by organ system.
- Week 4: emergencies, toxicology and antidotes.
- Week 5: calculations and pharmacy practice.
- Week 6: full timed mocks and targeted revision.
