Eligibility for FIP Observer Organisation membership
|
Observer organisations are organisations that provide essential services to the profession in terms of standards and regulation and can be called upon to advise FIP. These regulatory organisations, or other organisations related to pharmacy, do not have advocacy or representative functions and cannot be full members of FIP due to this. Therefore, they can work closely with FIP as observers and advise where appropriate. |
