FIP Global Conference on the Future of Hospital
Pharmacy
The International Pharmaceutical Federation (FIP), which
is the international organization representing 2 million
pharmacists worldwide, will hold a conference August
30-31, 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 is open to any hospital
pharmacist or other individuals interested in hospital
pharmacy practice. A primary goal of the conference is to
identify opportunities
for improving all aspects of the medication-use process,
including the procurement, preparation, distribution,
prescribing and administration of medicines in hospitals.
An outcome expected from the conference is the development
of consensus statements that offer guidance on the
development of tools, time-lines and strategies for
achieving advancements to the practice of hospital
pharmacy.
