Leadership Development
FIP Development Goal 6 Education & Workforce Element
Globally, we will have:
Strategies and programmes in place that develop professional leadership skills (including clinical and executive leadership) for all stages of career development, including pharmaceutical sciences and initial education and training.
Mechanisms
- Creation of programmes and strategies for the development of leadership skills (including tools and mentoring systems), to support pharmacists and pharmaceutical scientists through their careers.
- Advocacy for leadership development in healthcare teams, linked to collaborative working activities (for example, promotion of team-based approaches to healthcare service delivery).
- Ideally, this should be linked with competency and foundation and early year career development activities.
FIP Development Goal 6 Practice Element
Globally, we will have:
Strategies and programmes for professional leadership which incorporates team- and collaborative performance,
service development in line with local needs, and clinical leadership which demonstrates responsibility, accountability, decision-making ownership and professional autonomy.
Mechanisms
- Promote the development of leadership skills that warrant professional autonomy and decision-making ownership, clinical responsibility and accountability for patient outcomes, as well as for economic and environmental impacts.
- Promote the development of leadership in quality assurance of professional performance (one’s own and team performance) and collaborative approaches to healthcare delivery and in reviewing processes accordingly.
- Recognise clinical leadership as a means to enhancing quality and transforming people-centred clinical services for excellence.
- Promote the development of professional advocacy skills to empower pharmacists to effectively advocate for the profession to governments, regulators, policy makers and other stakeholders, and to become themselves key decision-makers and influencers at all these levels.
FIP Development Goal 6 Science Element
Globally, we will have:
Strategies and programmes for scientific leadership are in place to sustain excellence in pharmaceutical sciences research, development, manufacturing, and regulations.
Mechanisms
- Partner with accessible leadership programmes & agencies to provide a unique and structured FIP Leadership programme for pharmaceutical scientists.
- Implement mentorship programmes with experienced pharmaceutical sciences leaders in academia, industry, and regulatory bodies.
- Establish an inventory of quality leadership programs in pharmaceutical sciences to expand professional development opportunities.
