  "abstract": "Background and Importance Training in hospital pharmacy demands precision, continuous updating, and strict compliance with safety and quality standards. Traditional face-to-face teaching has been limited by instructor availability and the variability of prior preparation, making it challenging to ensure a consistent skill level among staff.Aim and Objectives To standardise training, enhance process safety, and promote ongoing learning, a practical initiative was developed: concise educational videos focusing on critical compounding techniques in sterile settings. This approach aims to provide an innovative, accessible, and effective educational tool for pharmacist with basic prior training.Material and Methods Most common topics were selected, including proper gowning, ophthalmic solutions, intravitreal injections, parenteral nutrition, and cytotoxic drug handling. 17 short videos (2–5 minutes each) were produced internally and made available through the hospital intranet, accessible on any device. To evaluate their impact, 16 pharmacists completed pre- and post-viewing questionnaires, rating knowledge from 1 (none) to 5 (high).Results Before watching the videos, participants reported intermediate knowledge, with average score of 2.7 (±1.45 Standard desviation (SD)) reflecting limited or partial training. The weakest areas were ophthalmic preparations and intravitreal injections, where confidence was particularly low. For parenteral nutrition and cytotoxic handling, variability was high, with some reporting basic knowledge and others minimal preparation. The only maximum score was given to the perceived usefulness of videos as a training format.After viewing, scores increased substantially across all areas, reaching averages close to 4.3 (±0,81 SD). Pharmacists reported greater clarity in the steps required for laminar flow cabinet work and improved confidence in preparing ophthalmic solutions, intravitreal injections, and parenteral nutrition, even in on-call situations. The video format was highly rated for clarity, structure, applicability, and accessibility, with mean scores around 4.5 (±0.7 SD).Conclusion and Relevance Educational videos proved to be an effective strategy to strengthen knowledge, enhance safety, and standardise hospital pharmacy practices. Given their versatility, low cost, and transferability, they represent a good practice model applicable to other hospitals. This initiative may serve as the first step toward a more comprehensive online training program for new staff without prior knowledge, integrating audiovisual resources with theoretical content and competency-based assessment.Conflict of Interest No conflict of interest",
