E-DRUG: FIP Global Pharmacy Workforce Survey 2012 Deadline 30th of March 2012
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
Dear Colleagues,
We invite you to support the development of the FIP Global Pharmacy Workforce Report 2012 by completing the Survey on the Pharmacy Workforce or forwarding this email to relevant contacts in your country who would have access to the relevant information.
Human resources for health and the pharmacy workforce are important assets in comprehensive healthcare systems around the world. Through the support of various stakeholders, including FIP member organisations, individuals from pharmacy professional and regulatory bodies, training institutions, Ministries of Health and the World Health Organization two FIP reports on the global pharmacy workforce were published in 2006 and in 2009. The results of this work, which focuses on human resources and pharmacy workforce issues, is that pharmacy workforce research and policy has been better informed and strengthened worldwide. See the full reports online at http://www.fip.org/programmesandprojects_pharmacyeducationtaskforce_humanresources
The data being collected in the 2012 survey includes information on the distribution of pharmacists and pharmaceutical technicians and assistants by country, gender and practice area, as well as gathers comprehensive information on pharmacy ownership systems, workforce regulation, competency and education. Our goal is to include data from 100 countries to celebrate the 100 years of FIP in 2012.
Your participation is highly valued to provide a better understanding of current pharmacy workforce issues, and will assist in the development of global pharmacy workforce policy recommendations.
The questionnaire is available online in the following languages:
