The 3rd 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
