In 2018, we hosted our inaugural two-day Leadership Development Workshop (LDW) in collaboration with FIP and
the FIP Academic Pharmacy Section. Some of the topics discussed included project management skills, succession
planning, leadership styles, how to run effective meetings, and communication skills.

We also host special social events at the congress, including a reception for first-timers and the infamous YPG night.

Other activities that occur at Congress are the recognition of YPG grant/award recipients, YPG Assembly meetings, and Steering Committee elections. One of the best parts of attending Congress is reuniting with old friends and establishing new relationships around the world!
Newsletter
We keep our members informed with newsletters at least four times a year.
Career support resources
|
The YPG is working on support materials to its members in their professional development. The first of these materials is “Leading with emotional intelligence”. This document aims to help young pharmacists learn and practise emotional intelligence skills. It outlines samplecases and provides suggestions on how emotional intelligence skills can be used to overcome challenges in different situations. |
