The 2020 FIP digital programme, entitled: Transforming Vaccination Globally and Regionally was the first FIP outcome-based online programme of its kind, which culminated in the signing of a FIP Commitment to Action on Improving Vaccination Coverage Through Pharmacies by FIP and member organisations to transform vaccinations globally and regionally. Building on the outcomes of the 2020 programme, the FIP 2021 digital programme focuses on supporting FIP members in accelerating programmes of equity, access and sustainability of vaccinations through policy development and implementation.
Building on World Health Professions Alliance (WHPA), Positive Practice Environments Campaign, the “FIPWiSE toolkit for positive practice environments in education & science” is developed to identify and address inequalities in the workplace environments which affects women in pharmaceutical science and pharmacy education, with transferable learnings across the pharmaceutical workforce. The toolkit is designed to raise awareness and provide possible solutions for individuals, employers and institutions that can enable positive practice environments for women in pharmaceutical science and pharmacy education.
Learning objectives:
1. Explore the key factors that enable positive practice environments for women in pharmaceutical science and pharmacy education, and the entire pharmaceutical workforce
2. Learn about practical solutions for professionals, employers and policy makers in creating positive practice environments for women in pharmaceutical science and pharmacy education
3. Discuss with the toolkit authors and high-level speakers how to take action and stand up for positive practice environments
This event will focus on the role that pharmacists can play in providing pharmaceutical care for people with hearing impairment or a disability linked to hearing loss. Pharmacists must provide clear messages and adapt their communication strategies to this particular population group to ensure optimal use of medicines and medical devices, and they need to have the knowledge and skills to do so. Also, people with hearing loss face different challenges and this problem becomes more relevant with age. Pharmacists can support patients in detecting early signs of hearing loss and taking the appropriate actions.
The following FIP programmes of work and structures support the implementation of this Goal:
