D12 Law and order in emergency pharmacy practice
Wednesday 31 August 2016
14:30-17:30
Hilton Buenos Aires : Atlantico A & B, 3 hours
Organised by the FIP Military and Emergency Pharmacy Section (MEPS)
Introduction
The practice of pharmacy in a military and emergency environment is unique. It is often done outside the confines of a “traditional” pharmacy, in situations that are less than ideal. Legislation and regulations define and control the practice of pharmacy, but they rarely address situations faced by the practice of pharmacy in a military and emergency environment. The needs of patients must still come first, while laws have to be followed. This session will present a pharmacist perspective on how legislation and regulations affect various military and emergency organisations.
Learning objectives
At the conclusion of this knowledge-based session, participants will be able to:
- Describe the place of legislation in managing emergency situations
- Identify the legislative and regulatory framework of various military and emergency organisations
- Describe the various challenges that military and emergency organisations are facing, when it comes to legislation and regulations
- Identify solutions to conflicting legislations and regulations that military and emergency organisations are facing
- Describe a process that can be used to best match personnel qualifications and tasks related to pharmacy services before, during and after an emergency situation.
