As the second installment of the two-part series on pharmacists’ role in ensuring patient safety, this webinar will explore medicines reconciliation as an essential service in ensuring patient safety. As transitions of care bear an increased risk of medication discrepancies, which lead to adverse effects, pharmacist-led medicines reconciliation has been demonstrated to effectively resolve such discrepancies and contribute to avoiding patient harm. Pharmacy experts and FIP team members from around the world will be presenting data supporting this service in addition to the FIP toolkit on medicines reconciliation launched this February.
Learning objectives:
• Define medicines reconciliation and review data supporting the clinical and economic benefits associated with the service
• Explore examples of medicines reconciliation practices from different regions
• Become familiar with the FIP medicines reconciliation toolkit to support the advocacy and implementation of the service

With the publication of the document FIP Vector-Borne Diseases: A Handbook for Pharmacists, produced in collaboration with the Pharmaceutical Forum of the Americas (PFA), the International Pharmaceutical Federation (FIP) offers an overview of these pathologies and notes that pharmacists are uniquely positioned to help communities and patients protect themselves from them. This webinar will describe the most prevalent vector-borne diseases in the Americas; subsequently, the pharmaceutical interventions that this professional can carry out will be identified and finally three experiences developed by the FFA regarding the pharmaceutical approach to arbovirus-transmissible diseases will be presented.

Con la publicación del documento Enfermedades transmitidas por vectores de la FIP: manual para farmacéuticos, producido en colaboración con el Foro Farmacéutico de las Américas (FFA), la Federación Internacional Farmacéutica (FIP) ofrece una visión general de estas patologías y señala que los farmacéuticos tienen una posición privilegiada para ayudar a las comunidades y a los pacientes a protegerse de estas. En este webinar se describirán las enfermedades transmisibles por vectores con mayor prevalencia en las Américas; posteriormente se identificaran las intervenciones farmacéuticas que desde la farmacia puede ejecutar este profesional y por último se presentarán tres experiencias desarrolladas por el FFA referentes al abordaje farmacéutico de las enfermedades transmisibles por arbovirus.

Learning objectives 

1) Recognize the main concepts related to vector-borne diseases.
2) Describe the characteristics and morbidity and mortality of the main vector-borne diseases in the region of the Americas.
3) Determine the activities that the pharmacist can develop from the pharmacy for the prevention, detection, control, and management of pharmacotherapy of vector-borne diseases.
4) Identify the experiences developed by the Pharmaceutical Forum of the Americas to support the actions of pharmacists in the fight against diseases transmitted by arboviruses.

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 3^rd episode of the programme explores FIP Development Goal 16: Communicable diseases. Through this goal, we aim to oversee the prevention, surveillance, scientifically strategic management and therapeutic optimisation of communicable and vector-borne diseases. This event will take place during World Immunisation Week and it will reiterate the commitment of pharmacists, pharmaceutical scientists and pharmaceutical educators to improving vaccination coverage around the world, and to further support the prevention and management of communicable diseases. 

Event outcomes:  

1. Describe and explain the components of FIP DG 16 (and its three elements: workforce & education, science and practice).  
2. Showcase the FIP tools, evidence, and resources to support DG 16 implementation across the three elements.  
3. Identify priorities across practice, science, and workforce & education within DG 16 
4. Engage our members in an activity to support monitoring and evaluation of the Goal through data evidence  

You can complete the course modules at your own pace and when you complete all modules, you will receive a certificate of completion.

FIP AIM Chair, Pierre Moreau says “The course includes modules on the impact of COVID-19 on pharmacy education and the needs created during this pandemic, the growing importance of digital health and digital leadership, and what does the future holds in terms of education in general and pharmacy education in particular. This 4-module series is a great opportunity for seasoned and emergent academic leaders to reflect on what we all lived during the past months and likely to experience for several months/years ahead.”

Come to the 2022 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.
