Description

BackgroundFor many years, hospital pharmacists have played a pivotal role in advancing pharmacy practice worldwide. In 2015, the International Pharmaceutical Federation's (FIP) Hospital Pharmacy Section introduced the revised Basel Statements, outlining the vision for the future of hospital pharmacy practice. The Basel Statements aim to establish a unified vision for hospital pharmacy practice across different regions and cultures. They have been utilized to evaluate and enhance hospital pharmacy practices globally, including in China, Europe, the United States, Canada, Uruguay, the Western Pacific Region, and more recently, Uganda.Basel Statements encompass six main themes that form the foundation of excellence in hospital pharmacy: 1) Procurement, 2) Influences on Prescribing, 3) Preparation and Delivery, 4) Administration, 5) Monitoring of Medicines Use, and 6) Human Resources, Training, and Development. These areas empower hospital pharmacists to enhance care quality and prioritize patient safety.The primary aim of the present course is to provide participants with an in-depth understanding of the Basel Statements, their relevance, and their practical application in hospital pharmacy settings. By focusing on the revised 65 Basel Statements, the course aims to bridge the gap between theory and practice, enabling pharmacists to deliver excellence in patient care, medication management, and interdisciplinary collaboration. It seeks to inspire participants to become agents of change within their institutions by adopting best practices that meet global standards.Course Objectives· Understand the principles and significance of the Basel Statements in advancing hospital pharmacy.· Explore key themes in hospital pharmacy practice, from procurement to human resources development as outlined in the Basel Statements.· Implement strategies that promote the principles of leadership, patient safety, and professional development as outlined in the Basel Statements.· Foster collaboration among pharmacy professionals to achieve excellence in healthcare delivery.Course Questions:· What are the critical themes in hospital pharmacy practice outlined in the Basel Statements, and how do they influence procurement and human resources development?· What strategies can hospital pharmacists implement to enhance leadership, ensure patient safety, and promote professional growth?· How can fostering collaboration among pharmacy professionals improve healthcare delivery and achieve excellence in hospital pharmacy services?· How can participants in professional development programs gain confidence and expertise to elevate hospital pharmacy service quality and cultivate innovation in their practice?Significance of the Course:The present course is pivotal for advancing hospital pharmacy practice globally. It highlights the revised FIP Basel Statements, offering participants a comprehensive framework to enhance their professional skills. By addressing essential aspects such as patient-centered care, research and evidence-based practice, collaboration and communication, patient safety, and pharmaceutical supply chain management, our course empowers pharmacists to align with international standards, improve healthcare outcomes, foster innovation, and establish a culture of excellence in their institutions, ensuring they meet the evolving demands of modern healthcare.Course Outline· Overarching and Governance Statements1.
