Abstract
Over the years, the European Association of Hospital Pharmacists (EAHP) has fostered increasing collaboration with European organisations representing various healthcare professionals and patient groups. In alignment with these efforts, the EAHP Board introduced this session to strengthen partnerships and highlight the importance of interdisciplinary collaboration in healthcare. This session serves as a platform for the partner organisations to present an overview of their work and explore synergies that contribute to improved patient outcomes.
In 29th EAHP Congress the two organisations participating in the “Mental health, a matter for all: Perspectives on Multistakeholder Collaboration” session are the European Patient Forum (EPF), an umbrella organisation of patient organisations across Europe and across disease-areas, and the Standing Committee of European Doctors (CPME), representing national medical associations across Europe.
This session will underscore the pressing need for collective efforts to tackle mental health challenges and will explore the role that hospital pharmacists -together with patients and other healthcare professionals- can play in ensuring a holistic approach to support mental health through an effective engagement in shared decision-making and medication counselling. EPF will present the link between chronic conditions and mental health, with a particular focus on the needs of young patients. Findings from the Youth Group Project on Mental Health and Sexual Wellbeing will be shared, alongside an examination of the challenges faced by healthcare professionals in addressing mental health of patience. CPME will take a broader view, addressing the societal and systemic factors influencing mental health, including unemployment, rising living costs, the climate crisis, and pressures from the digital sphere, impacting mental health of both patients and healthcare professionals. They will advocate for cross-sectoral policies to promote mental health and well-being, highlighting the importance of prevention, early intervention, and ensuring access to affordable, high-quality care. Particular attention will be paid to safeguarding children and young people, especially in the online environment, and exploring innovative approaches such as social prescribing. CPME will also highlight the significance of training and capacity-building for healthcare professionals, and the need to improve collaboration between hospital pharmacists and primary care providers to enhance patient follow-up and treatment continuity.
