FIP Development Goal 12 Workforce Element

Globally, we will have

A national strategy and corresponding actions to collate and share workforce data and workforce planning activities (skill mixes, advanced and specialist practice, capacity). Without workforce intelligence data there can be no strategic workforce development.

Mechanisms

  • An operational global pharmaceutical observatory
  • Develop monitoring systems to identify workforce trends to enable decision making on deployment and supply of pharmaceutical workforce, noting that time-lags are often present in these activities.
  • Ideally, this should be linked with stewardship and leadership for professional leadership bodies.
