Chronic kidney disease (CKD) is a prevalent and severe condition that progresses silently in most patients. As such, many patients are not diagnosed until the late stages of CKD, resulting in a greater risk of poor outcomes, such as end-stage renal disease requiring dialysis or transplant. Community pharmacists and their teams are ideally placed to raise CKD awareness, identify those at risk and be the driving force behind earlier detection and referral to primary care partners for screening, diagnosis and intervention. At this event, the “Chronic kidney disease - Toolkit Guide” to support pharmacists in providing a range of CKD pharmacy services will be presented.

Emphasis is often placed on healthcare challenges facing providers and pharmacists that care for the adult and elderly patient populations – however, children are cared for in many of the same patient care settings: hospitals, ambulatory clinics, and community pharmacies. As compared to adults, children may be at greater risk of medication errors and potential adverse drug events due to individualized weight-based dosing, differences in compounded formulations and concentrations, inability of children to communicate adverse effects, and confusion between units of measure (e.g. milligrams versus milliliters). This session will provide “need to know” information about how to care for a paediatric patient throughout the care continuum (inpatient considerations, transitions between inpatient and outpatient care, outpatient considerations, and transitions from paediatric to adult care) as well as more advanced information regarding innovative approaches and technology implementation in paediatric pharmacy.

Mental health is a critical aspect of overall health and well-being. Mental health disorders are common affecting one in four people worldwide. However, mental health patient care services are often inaccessible, leading to negative outcomes such as disability and poor physical health. Pharmacists play a vital role in providing mental health patient care services, as they are often the first contact for the patients asking for help. Developing competency in delivery of mental health services is thus essential for pharmacy students and practitioners. To obtain a high level of knowledge and skills, but also attitudes and values required for these roles, a variety of teaching and learning methods can be used. As indicated in FIP-GCFE, teaching methods should be aligned with participants' needs and the context of learning. This webinar aims to provide an overview of pharmacists' roles in not just promoting mental health and well-being, but to highlight strategies to really deliver mental health patient care services among practitioners and students, and showcase experiences of capacity building programs in the mental health care.

The 16th Global Conference on Ageing is set against the backdrop of important international agendas that align and intersect with the UN Decade of Healthy Ageing. The conference is focusing only on five themes – digital technologies, older women, maintaining and improving function, immunisation, and age-friendly environments which will be seen the lens of both the actions areas and enablers. 

The FIP Pharmacy Practice Research Special Interest Group (PPR SIG), in collaboration with University of Granada, is hosting an international event — “Pharmacy practice research summer meeting for PhD students, postdoctoral fellows and supervisors” — on 3 and 4 July 2023 in Granada, Spain.

The main scope of the PPR SIG is to increase pharmacy practice contributions to global health by providing greater access to the latest high-quality international pharmacy practice research. During this meeting both starting-out and experienced researchers will be able to collaborate on major PPR themes.
