Global Pharmaceutical Observatory

The Global Pharmaceutical Observatory (GPO), developed and maintained by FIP, is a worldwide data hub informing the advocacy work of our members and partners including in areas of policy development, decision-making, the advancement of pharmaceutical practice, health and life-sciences, education and skills training, and, of course, workforce intelligence.  We have developed the vision and mission for the GPO in collaboration with our members.

Vision of FIP’s GPO (5 year)

The GPO will become the most comprehensive and most respected source of data and intelligence on pharmacy workforce, pharmacy practice and pharmaceutical science worldwide.  The observatory provides a window on the work and impact of the global pharmaceutical community wherever you are.

FIP’s GPO mission (Present state)

Our mission is to collate and validate, effectively and efficiently, global data on the pharmacy workforce, practice and pharmaceutical science. We undertake comprehensive analyses and provide accessible, high quality intelligence that supports our member organisations in their work. We communicate this innovatively, thereby promoting our member organisations’ contribution to health. We provide evidence-based strategic information, reports and guidance on the application of pharmaceutical science, policies, practices and services.

To do this, we engage with and work in partnership with our member organisations, key stakeholders and global thought-leaders.

By delivering this mission, we will contribute to the wider FIP Development Goals and the United Nations’ Sustainable Development Goals.

An update of the GPO was presented at this FIP Virtual 2020 event: "ONE FIP: re-imagining the possible with data (powered by GPO)":

Tracking the FIP Development Goals

Progress with the FIP Development Goals are measured and monitored via the data collected in the GPO.
