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.
FIP will seek representatives from every country to attend the
conference and represent their nation in the consensus development
process. The conference will also be open to any hospital pharmacy
leader, hospital pharmacist or other individual interested in hospital
pharmacy practice.
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.
