C1 - Global competencies for the pharmacy profession

Armadillo

Organised by the FIP Programme Committee

Chairs

Don Mager (University at Buffalo, USA) and Toyin Tofade (Howard University, USA)

Introduction

This session will focus on different aspects of competencies that pharmacists have to achieve according to the FIP Global Competency Framework.  It will describe not only the competency-based education and training of pharmacists that empowers them to advance pharmacy practice, but also best practices leading to improved health and well-being of patients.  By fully engaging with patients, pharmacists empower them to take control of their own health and together with the patient and their other healthcare providers work as a team to improve the lives of patients. Examples of best achievements in practice, education and training and measuring health outcomes from pharmacist patient care services will provide practical take-home tips for attendees to advance pharmacy practice and improve health outcomes in their home communities.
