The University of Bath incorporated the Pharmacy Game in 2018 into the pharmacy curricula. In this university the Pharmacy Game is played under the name Groningen Pharmacy Management Simulation. The game is used as a standalone course and serves to train pharmacy students in their final year.

The game is played 3-4 times a year for a duration of 2 weeks. Each game includes up to 6 pharmacies managed by groups of 5-6 students in the fictional town of Pharmborough. The course aims to develop the students’ communication, management and leadership, teamwork and problem solving skills but also to become aware of their own capabilities and limitations in a safe environment.
