Around the globe, efforts to use technology in remote learning during COVID-19 lockdown are enormous, and different educational applications, platforms and resources are being explored.

Laboratory courses constitute a unique challenge to remote instruction. The need to deliver learning outcomes of practical courses via a fully virtual experience is demanding. 

This activity is intended to share experience with remote learning of pharmacy laboratory courses during COVID-19 lockdown. Readiness for remote laboratory learning is crucial for pharmacy schools’ strategic planning and preparedness for any remote learning activities in the future.

Learning objectives:

• Highlight the expertise and skills of pharmacy laboratory educators in remote laboratory instruction
• Identify best practices for remote laboratory instruction obtained from the preliminary experience during COVID-19
• Discuss methods of assessment of remote laboratory instruction
• Elaborate challenges of the “new norm” of remote instruction when applied to laboratory courses
• Remote handling of pharmacy laboratory research during out-of-lab periods  

Misinformation regarding vaccines, lack of understanding regarding their important benefits, and limiting fears and beliefs are factors that present challenges to vaccination. The amount of misinformation about vaccines circulating on the Internet in recent years has generated a worrying level of hesitancy or outright opposition to the use of vaccines by growing anti-vaccination groups in many countries. This has been associated with the return or increase of diseases such as measles and whooping cough. Pharmacists play a critical role in building confidence in vaccines and providing evidence-based advice.

Learning Objectives:

After this webinar the participants should have a better understanding of the following topics:

1. (Dis)trust in medicines and vaccines
2. Benefits of vaccines
3. Evidence-based advice through pharmacist
4. Vaccination and quality of life for older adults
5. Engaging with members of the public in a meaningful way
6. How to interact efficiently with patients in a very short time

The LLLP conferences bring together international and national colleagues with interest and research to share in the area of pharmacy education and professional development. The conference facilitates participant access to high quality educational programs, internationally significant research and development, and world-renowned leaders in the field.

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.
