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.
The World Health Organization (WHO) listed air pollution and climate change as one of the top ten threats to global health. According to WHO, air pollution is the greatest environment risk to health, with nine out of 10 people breathing in polluted air every day.
There is, therefore, a clear need for pharmacists not only to respond to and manage respiratory illnesses and symptoms, but also to support proactive respiratory wellness.
The International Pharmaceutical Federation (FIP) and The Clean Breathing Institute (TCBI) initiated a collaboration in 2019 to discuss and support the role that pharmacists may play in mitigating the impact of air pollution on health and providing counselling and care to patients in this area.
The FIP Development Goals Digital Programme “Setting goals for the decade ahead” is a comprehensive online event series providing coverage of the 21 goals over 21 events in 2021. The programme aims to provide description, direction and context for each specific goal, with a global plan for the decade ahead and how each nation, within each region can identify and prioritise which goals are the priorities and how the goals can support developments and transformation for them.
FIP Development Goal 21 “Sustainability in pharmacy” is not only about ensuring sustainable services in practice and all that this encompasses, but also covers the impact of pharmacy and pharmaceuticals on the environment. In this event, we explore sustainability in pharmacy from the perspectives of workforce & education, science, as well as practice – and we will showcase the strategies, tools and resources of FIP on this Goal. The event features a global panel of pharmacy experts and is co-chaired by FIP CEO Dr Catherine Duggan.
La farmacia humanitaria durante el covid-19. Gestión de desafíos durante una nueva era
En este webinar discutiremos cómo diversas organizaciones humanitarias -FSF-Argentina, FSF-Chile y FSF-España- centradas en el trabajo de farmacia, se han adaptado a la pandemia de COVID-19.
Objetivos de aprendizaje:
1. Comprender cómo puede continuar el trabajo humanitario en tiempos de pandemia.
2. Conocer varios ejemplos de trabajo humanitario durante la pandemia de COVID-19.
3. Obtener nuevas ideas y construir redes dentro del campo de la farmacia humanitaria.
Los temas se basan en el trabajo, incluyendo desafíos e innovaciones, que tres organizaciones (de España, Argentina y Chile) han desarrollado durante la pandemia de COVID-19
The following FIP programmes of work and structures support the implementation of this Goal:
