Establishing a correlation between in vitro tests and in vivo product performance has always been a challenge for the pharmaceutical industry.  Without a link between specifications and in vivo performance, drug product manufacturing processes are often performed under unnecessarily tight controls. Furthermore, implementing changes post-product market approval can be challenging in a complex global environment.  This webinar will describe traditional and novel approaches towards establishing in vitro in vivo correlations. The main focus will be on solid oral dosage forms, however other dosage forms will also be discussed.

At this event on World Cancer Day, we will explore innovations in pharmacy practice in the community and hospital pharmacy settings, in terms of supporting cancer patients throughout their journey. A panel of experts will present and discuss examples of innovative professional services in cancer prevention and screening, access to cancer treatments, adherence and continuity across transitions of care, among others.

The goal is to raise awareness of the important role that pharmacists can play in all areas of practice in terms of cancer prevention and management, in collaboration with other healthcare professionals.

Learning Objectives

• Identify and discuss the roles that community and hospital pharmacists can play in cancer prevention and management.
• Present examples of best practices of cancer-related professional services by pharmacists from around the world.
• Discuss the importance of supporting patients in a multi- and inter-professional approach
• Explore issues on the transitions of care, adherence to treatments and prevention and screening in cancer care

Malaria is responsible for approximately 400 thousand deaths annually, resulting in an enormous public health burden on many of the tropical and subtropical countries. Although projects are ongoing in WHO, pharmaceutical companies and foundations, basic university-based research is also essential against for treatment and drug resistance in malaria. Engagement of young pharmaceutical scientists in the field is necessary to overcome this situation.

In this event, young PI and early carrier scientists / PhD students related to this scientific subject will be invited as speaker. Dr Eizo Takashima, Ehime University, Japan was invited as a speaker for preliminary lecture, and provide opportunity for young scientists to discuss about the science of malaria.

Learning objectives:

• Describe the development of malaria vaccine candidates.
• Defineseroepidemiology of malaria
• Recognize how early carrier pharmaceutical scientists can be involved in research on drug and vaccine development of malaria.

The CPS Champion for Change 2021, Dr Odhiambo David, will share his vision on how pharmacists can better serve patients with mental health issues:
- Describe what service pharmacies should offer patients and/or healthcare systems to help tackle the mental health burden;
- In what ways can pharmacists support self-care and mental health patients having a more autonomous life; and
- How can digital health tools (either low or high tech) help community pharmacists improve outcomes and better support patients with mental health problems
