Immunization Training

Saturday 1 September 2018
09:00-17:30

Pharmacy-Based Immunization Delivery – Certificate Training Programme

Pharmacists are gaining authority to immunize in an increasing number of countries. The USA has been among the first countries to allow pharmacists to vaccinate, under specific conditions, one of which is to complete a certificate training programme. This programme is being offered as a satellite at the congress, where FIP is partnering with the American Pharmacists Association (APhA). The APhA Pharmacy-Based Immunization Delivery certificate training programme provides pharmacists with the necessary skills to become a primary source for vaccine information and administration within their pharmacy.

Precongress Satellite on Biosimilars the Science, Regulation, Practice and Education of Follow on Biologic Pharmaceuticals

Saturday 1 September 2018
08:30 – 17:00

Organised by the FIP Hospital Pharmacy Section and the FIP Board of Pharmaceutical Sciences

Biologic pharmaceuticals are very targeted medications that have made a major contribution to the clinical outcomes of patients with challenging diseases and conditions. These pharmaceuticals are very expensive and competition from products that are biologically similar has the potential of increasing patient access at a lower cost. The complexity of the science and practice of using these medications makes pharmacists’ education of these agents critical to their appropriate use. This pre-congress satellite will address these areas with active learning opportunities for the audience.

FIP SPEAKERS CORNER

Tuesday 4 September

10:30 – 12:00 and 14:15 – 17:30

Organised by the FIP Community Pharmacy Section (CPS), the International Pharmaceutical Students’ Federation and the FIP Young Pharmacists Group

Introduction
In a fast moving and challenging healthcare environment, pharmacy instantly needs to develop new insights regarding relevant issues. A speakers corner is an easy, fast and innovative way of sharing experiences and insights with other participants at the FIP congress without having to have presentations accepted in advance. Pharmacists can talk about issues and raise questions that are of high importance to them in a facilitated discussion that gives practitioners the opportunity to learn from peers and advance the dialogue on critical issues.

Topics can be linked to the overall theme of the congress, “Transforming outcomes”, or otherwise. Each participant will have the opportunity to talk about his or her topic (without slides) for 10 to 15 minutes. Chairs will encourage passers-by to participate, but will also have prepared some back-up topics.

Congress participants can register their interest to speak, during the congress, with a moderator. The Speakers Corner moderator will post topics on social media in order to attract an audience.

Comments can be posted on social media.

The FIP Speakers Corner will be a one-day activity.

Learning objectives:

At the end of this session, participants will be able to:

  1. Analyse the overall scope of relevant issues from pharmacists’ daily practice;
  2. Advocate development of specific areas when returning from the congress;
  3. Acquire new contacts, making the pharmacy world smaller;
  4. Demonstrate the importance of being a member of FIP and being active via FIP’s and the CPS’s social media.

Type of session: Application-based

PHARMABRIDGE

No Pharmabridge lunch time session as usual but the project is discussed in:

D9 Sharing experiences across borders

Organised by the FIP Academic Pharmacy Section in collaboration with the FIP Hospital Pharmacy Section

Thursday 6 September
09.00 – 12.00
Duration: 3 hrs

Introduction

Pharmabridge aims to strengthen pharmaceutical services in developing and transitional countries through coordinated support from the pharmacy establishment and individual pharmacists in developed countries. This is done by linking people for book donations, visits of pharmacists from developing countries for practice exposure in countries with more advanced pharmacy education and practices, and the organisation of lectures and workshops in developing countries. The project is supported by FIP, its Board of Pharmaceutical Practice and the Commonwealth Pharmaceutical Association. This session will include an update on Pharmabridge, reports and results of Pharmabridge practice exposures, and discussion.

All those interested in the project, from developing or developed countries, or wanting to establish contacts with colleagues from other countries (or even a specific country) are invited to attend this meeting.

People with books, DVDs, etc., to offer are encouraged to bring them to the meeting and give them to colleagues from less affluent countries.
