The YPG role in Global health report gathers information from young professionals about what is currently being done in their countries by young pharmacists and young pharmacists' groups and the expectations they have regarding their respective roles. This digital event will discuss the findings of the report and what pharmacists from different regions need from their organisations. 

Episode 3 examines inequities in gender access to vaccines to inform pharmacy policy. Various angles to vaccinations and the gender will be discussed including general gender access, terms of empowering women as caregivers to support vaccinations, the impact of COVID-19 on gender inequity, and the issues around gender inequity in the workforce (which is especially important to discuss in 2020 Year of the Health Worker).

Health systems and health care professionals are called upon to address and mitigate the impact of air pollution on people’s health and quality of life. There is an evolving role for community pharmacists, not only in reactive respiratory illness, but also in supporting proactive individual and community respiratory wellness. This webinar will provide examples of services that pharmacists can deliver to support better breathing.

Learning objectives:
- Describe the role that pharmacists can play in mitigating air pollution in the community.
- Identify the different tools available to pharmacists to enable the reduction of the impact of air pollution in the community.
- Understand the various arrays of services that community pharmacists can employ in supporting better breathing.

Is Amazon – with Amazon Pharmacy – going to disrupt the pharmacy market? Amazon is known for disrupting businesses and has a long and very solid track record of doing so. The company started by disrupting the bookstore business and did it in record time. Then, the company expanded into other products and has significantly disrupted other retailers as it continued to grow. A few years ago, the company moved into the cloud and launched Amazon Web Services and disrupted the online cloud storage industry.

Back in 2018, Amazon acquired PillPack, an online prescription drug site, and it is now ready to use it to disrupt the pharmacy business. Amazon is giving Prime Members free delivery to help kickstart the business. This step makes perfect sense for the company and once again it will likely make a huge impact in the market. At the same time Amazon has started to use modern technology, as well as acquiring health companies in order to create a one-stop-shop for health and medicines.

How will this affect the patients, the current pharmacy model, the healthcare systems?

Furthermore, technology is reshaping the relationship between patients, healthcare providers, and the health system. Mobile will play a crucial role, as it has become the patient’s constant companion – which has been evident during the pandemic. By connecting patients and healthcare providers, treatments can be improved due to non-stop real-time gathered data. By providing access to such accurate information, healthcare providers are able to take immediate action if necessary. This will prevent conditions from worsening and therefore improve quality of life. The transformational change in the healthcare industry is thus only taking place because patients are empowered by using digital tools on every step of their journey.

Pain is a common symptom of a range of conditions or situations, and can manifest and be experienced with different intensities, from mild discomfort to highly incapacitating. Supporting patients in adequately managing pain and using medicines to alleviate it in an optimal way is a common and important part of pharmacists’ daily practice.

A particular type of pain that often leads to consultations to pharmacists and the use of self-care medicines is headache. Contemporary lifestyles and ways of working – especially at such challenging times as we are experiencing in many parts of the world, with lockdowns and confinements – lead to increased stress, increased use of technology and screen time, and often a lack of good sleep, which all frequently lead to headaches.

Relieving headaches and regaining mental clarity are important for patient wellbeing and productivity, and pharmacists can play a role in advising on the most appropriate strategies and therapeutic approaches that are suitable for each patient.

Learning Objectives:
1. Provide an understanding of 21st century headaches and their impact on patient health and wellbeing.
2. Highlight patients’ expectations from pharmacists in addressing headaches.
3. Demonstrate the role that pharmacists can play in enabling self-care of headaches.

Moderator:
- Prof. Parisa Aslani, FIP Vice President - Australia

Panellist:
- Peter Goadsby, Director of NIHR Clinical Research Facility & Professor of Neurology, King’s College (UK) - United Kingdom
- Kerrie Smyres, Author and blogger, “The Daily Headache” - USA

There is an evolving role for community pharmacists, not only in reactive respiratory illness, but also in supporting proactive individual and community respiratory wellness. However, what needs to change in terms of policy and regulation for these roles to become part of mainstream pharmacy practice? This symposium will mark the United Nations' International Day of Clean Air for Blue Skies, by addressing the drivers and barriers for the full deployment of these services, and discuss the key points of the FIP call to action on this global health priority.

learning objectives:
- Identify prevailing barriers limiting the deployment of services to reduce the impact of air pollution by community pharmacists.
- Describe facilitators and enablers that can influence air pollution service delivery by community pharmacists.
- Understand the policy and regulatory landscape that needs to be established to promote air pollution mitigation services by community pharmacists.
