Pharmaceutical Care in Disease Management

Improving patient outcomes by pharmacist intervention

Separate Registration

General Objective:

This programme is the first of a series of three and is the successor to the Continuing Education Programme on Pharmaceutical Care, which the Section has arranged annually since 1993.
The programme focuses on the interventions that pharmacists may perform to improve patient outcomes.The running theme of the three year programme will be:

1. Skills and various methods in the communication process;
2. Skills in managing pharmaceutical care and pharmacist interventions;
3. Assessment and research of pharmacist interventions and patient outcomes.

It is proposed to set up a network (The FIP-network of Pharmaceutical Care) to exchange information between participants during two FIP Congresses. Access to this will be for the people who have registered.

Specific objectives for the first year:

a To develop professional skills towards prescribers and patients based on new knowledge and techniques;
b To educate participants to become educators and guiding lights for colleagues in their own countries;
c To enable participants to communicate by using a network;
