annual report 2011-2012 31
The Centennial will offer all participants an invaluable venue
for enriching their career while at the same time participating
in events and decisions that will steer the future of pharmacy
and healthcare around the world.
The main theme of the Centennial is Improving Health Through
Responsible Medicines Use, a theme that calls on pharmacists
and pharmaceutical scientists to take their place as leaders in
the healthcare team and do their part to usher in a new era of
healthcare on a global scale. The theme will be supported by
a worldclass programme of expert speakers, symposia, work
shops and posters that will bring together participants from
diverse areas of pharmacy practice and pharmaceutical science.

The ambition of the FIP Centennial is to not only be a point of
influence for FIP s Leaders, Members and Participants, but also
to be a turning point for healthcare on a global level across
professions, cultures, geographical borders and socioeconomic
challenges. Contributing to the success of this ambitious goal
is a Ministers Summit on the Benefits of responsible use of
Medicines, supported by the Dutch Ministry of health and
focused on practical solutions that make the use of medicines
both more responsible and more costeffective. The Summit
takes place immediately before the FIP Congress, supported by
FIPlead, highlevel Stakeholder Roundtables, where influential
stakeholders from around the world and from a crosssection
of sectors will convene to discuss current and relevant issues
facing the development and delivery of healthcare now and in
the coming era.
After 100 years, the time is now and the opportunities are here
FIP and all who join us at the Centennial Congress will begin
realising the vision and potential we have worked throughout
a century to achieve.
