Historic meeting to develop consensus on the future of hospital care
provided by pharmacists
FIP, the international organisation representing 2 million pharmacists
worldwide, will hold a conference from 30-31 August 2008 as part of the
68th FIP Congress in Basel, Switzerland, to address issues that will shape
the future of hospital pharmacy practice.
Hosted by the FIP Hospital Pharmacy Section, the conference will identify
opportunities for improvement in all aspects of the medication use
process, including the procurement, preparation, distribution, prescribing
and administration of medicines in hospitals. Human resources and training
of hospital pharmacists will also be discussed. Consensus statements will
be developed to offer guidance on the development of tools, timelines and
tactics for achieving these advancements.
The conference is open to any hospital pharmacist, hospital pharmacy
leader or other individual interested in hospital pharmacy practice, and
it is hoped that every country is represented in the consensus development
process.
This conference will truly be a unique opportunity to influence, in a very
direct way, the development of hospital pharmacy in all countries of the
world.
