FIP Development Goal 9 Workforce Element
Globally, we will have:
All professional development activity clearly linked with needs-based health policy initiatives and pharmaceutical career development pathways.
Mechanisms
- Evidence of an effective continuing professional development strategy according to national and local needs.
- Development of programmes to support professional development across all settings of practice and all stages of a pharmacist’s career.Ideally, this should be linked with all professional development activities across the workforce.
- Education in continuing professional development strategies and self-directed behaviours should be initiated at the student level.
- Development of programmes to support return to practice after career breaks or sector changes.
