Additional Programme Items
FIP Speakers’ Corner
Organised by the FIP Community Pharmacy Section (CPS), the International Pharmaceutical Students’ Federation and the FIP Young Pharmacists’ Group
Wednesday 13 September, 10:00 - 15:00
Foyer Auditorium
Duration: 5h
In a fast moving and challenging health care environment, pharmacy instantly needs to develop new insights regarding relevant issues. A “Speakers’ Corner” is an easy, fast and innovative way of sharing experiences and insights with other participants at the FIP congress without having to have presentations accepted in advance. Pharmacists can talk about questions and issues that are of high importance to them in a facilitated discussion that gives practitioners the opportunity to learn from peers and advance the dialogue on critical issues.
Topics can be linked to the overall theme of the congress, “Medicines and beyond! The soul of pharmacy”, or otherwise. Each participant will have the opportunity to talk about his or her topic (without slides) for 10 to 15 minutes. Chairs will encourage passers-by to participate, but will also have prepared some back-up topics.
Congress participants can register their interest to speak, during the congress, with a moderator. The Speakers’ Corner moderator will post topics on social media in order to attract an audience. Comments can be posted on social media.
The FIP Speakers’ Corner will be a one-day activity.
Learning objectives
At the conclusion of this application-based session, participants will be able to:
- Analyse the overall scope of relevant issues from pharmacists’ daily practice.
- Advocate development of specific areas when returning from the congress.
- Acquire new contacts, making the pharmacy world smaller.
- Demonstrate the importance of being a member of FIP and being active via FIP’s and the CPS’s social media.

Pharmabridge
Organised by Pharmabridge
Grandballroom 103
Thursday 14 September, 12:30 – 14:00
Duration: 1h30
Pharmabridge aims to strengthen pharmaceutical services in developing and transitional countries through coordinated support from the pharmacy establishment and individual pharmacists in developed countries. This is done by linking people for book donations, visits of pharmacists from developing countries for practice exposure in countries with more advanced pharmacy education and practices, and the organisation of lectures and workshops in developing countries. The project is supported by FIP, its Board of Pharmaceutical Practice and the Commonwealth Pharmaceutical Association. This session will include an update on Pharmabridge, reports and results of Pharmabridge practice exposures, and discussion.
All those interested in the project, from developing or developed countries, or wanting to establish contacts with colleagues from other countries (or even a specific country) are invited to attend this meeting.
People with books, DVDs, etc, to offer are encouraged to bring them to the meeting and give them to colleagues from less affluent countries.
