Insights on advancing pharmacy-led self-care worldwide are presented today in a new FIP report.
The report captures discussions from the inaugural Self-Care Summit held in The Hague, where global experts explored how pharmacists can support common ailment management, improve access to care, and strengthen health system sustainability. Findings highlight the growing impact of self-care in addressing workforce shortages, rising healthcare costs, and increasing demand for services. The report emphasises the need for stronger policy support, sustainable remuneration models, and greater integration of digital health and diagnostics in pharmacy practice. It also underscores pharmacists’ expanding clinical roles and the importance of education, data, and collaboration to unlock their full potential as accessible primary care providers and key enablers of patient empowerment.
