A2 How to develop people

Wednesday 13 September 2017
09:00-12:00
COEX Convention & Exhibition Center : Auditorium 3 hours

Organised by the FIP Academic Pharmacy Section, the International Pharmaceutical Students’ Federation and FIPEd

Chairs: Tina Brock (Monash University, Australia) and Jennifer Marriott (Monash University, Australia)

Introduction

Mentoring, coaching and peer support are terms that we hear not just in pharmacy, but also in life. Pharmacists are increasingly expected to support colleagues and even patients using such approaches. This session explores what these terms mean and provides real-life examples of how such approaches can be used within pharmacy. There will be the opportunity to interact and ask questions in our panel discussion and Q&A session, and we will establish our own peer support group on Twitter under #FIPeersupport!  Come and be part of a global peer support network! For those of you who aren’t familiar with the concept of Tweeting, join us during the coffee break to learn how about Twitter and (WiFi permitting) send your first Tweet. There will be a prize for the Tweet that gets the most likes by the end of the session.

Learning objectives

At the conclusion of this application-based session, participants will be able to:

  1. Distinguish between mentoring, coaching and peer support.
  2. Identify the different ways in which these approaches can be used within pharmacy.
  3. Describe an application of each approach within pharmacy.
