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.

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

Enhancing academic horizons in trying times is FIP’s first-ever online leadership development course and developed by FIP together with the AACP (American Association of Colleges of Pharmacy) to support current and aspiring academic pharmacy leaders to navigate pandemic responses successfully at their institutions and countries. The course programme is uploaded to the FIP online learning platform, FIPx, and FIP AIM Members are offered special registration fees to join this online course.

You can complete the course modules at your own pace and receive your certificate of completion. And after completing the course and receiving your certificate, you may still return to it and watch all the presentations again to find a new perspective and enriching information on navigating a crisis successfully.

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.
