Hilton Buenos Aires : Atlantico A & B, 3 hours

Organised by the FIP Academic Pharmacy Section


Introduction

Academia must prepare student pharmacists to improve patient health by utilising health and wellness screenings and by promoting adherence accompanied by positive lifestyle behaviours. This hands-on practice workshop will highlight patient care testing, screening tools and technology with patient educational approaches to engage and empower patients in improving their health. Teaching innovations and best practices in pharmacy schools that prepare faculties to successfully integrate these emerging practice activities into the curriculum will be highlighted.

Learning objectives

At the conclusion of this application-based session, participants will be able to:

  1. Compare patient care service implementation by pharmacists around the globe
  2. Analyse compliance aids, screening tools, devices and technology solutions, and contrast methods for their effective integration in patient care
  3. Analyse current testing opportunities and their application in pharmacy practice, differentiating between technical skills and cognitive skills
  4. Adopt communication strategies and educational strategies designed to prepare students and practitioners to utilise new testing modalities and adherence models effectively.
