Patient safety is broadly acknowledged as a patient being free from any harm and/or accidental injuries during the course of receiving health care. This webinar will present the new FIP reference document Patient Safety: Pharmacists’ role in “Medications without harm” that outlines how pharmacists are essential healthcare professionals and are critical members of the whole healthcare team. Presentations from authors of the document will describe pharmacists’ work in varied settings such as community and hospital, industry and regulatory affairs and from different countries around the globe.

Come to the 2020 FIP congress in Seville, Spain, where pharmacy practitioners, pharmaceutical scientists and educators from around the world will discuss and help you prepare for these new technologies that will empower our profession.

Previous industrial revolutions liberated humans from reliance on animal power, made mass production possible and brought digital capabilities to billions. This latest industrial revolution is, however, fundamentally different. It is characterised by a range of technologies that are fusing the physical, digital and biological worlds, impacting on all disciplines, economies and industries, and even challenging ideas about what it means to be human.

Digitalisation is already allowing the keeping of structured patient records, facilitating electronic prescribing, dispensing and administration of medicines, automating the handling of medicines in the supply chain, and providing tools for monitoring the efficacy and safety of medicines in use. Further advances will enable pharmacists to interact with patients through the creation of a common platform for accessing data and information in new, more efficient way.
