Technology and new logistics – a disruption or a forced opportunity for community pharmacies Thumbnail
October 11, 2021

New niche & digital actors as well as on-line pharmacies are entering the pharmacy market. Healthcare is becoming more and more digital, and the development is partly exponential, and partly driven by the consumers – as such there is a consumerism of healthcare. How will this affect the patients, the current pharmacy model & the healthcare systems?

Learning objectives:

  • Understand the changing landscape of healthcare and pharmacy
  • Identify how new actors use technology to transform pharmacy services
  • Understand how digital transformation and tools support new business models and services, as well as is shaping a new patient/consumer behaviour
  • Describe how FIPs PHC strategy and the DGs can be used to transform pharmacy practice
  • Define a strategy for transform pharmacy linked to the “new normal”

"Just Culture" approach to community pharmacy practice regulation - An overview

July 13, 2021

Many jurisdictions around the world have implemented Apology Legislation and non-punitive medication error reporting requirements in order to create transparency, learning and prevention to enhance patient confidence and patient safety in the healthcare system and work towards creating a Just Culture or a Culture of Safety in health professionals and practice sites.   This webinar will present the value and the experiences of jurisdictions, which have enacted legislation and additional standards of care, for community pharmacy practice. Spread and scale of learning through international collaboration exemplified by the international medical regulatory authority will also be presented.

Learning Objectives:

1)      The importance sections of the FIP #4757 (Pharmacists Role in Medication without Harm) and Culture of Safety.

2)      The value of Apology Legislation on medication error resolution, transparency and patient confidence.

3)      The value of centralised medication error reporting in community pharmacy practice to enhance patient safety, quality assurance and prevent errors.

4)      The importance of international collaboration for the evolution to “Just Culture” and supportive legislation.
