Abstract
Over the past years, the European Association for Hospital Pharmacists (EAHP) has expanded collaboration with European organisations representing other healthcare professionals and patients, and in order to foster links with these associations, this new session was created by the EAHP Board.
The aim of this new EAHP activity is to promote and showcase the collaboration between EAHP and other European healthcare organisations and to provide a platform for these associations to present an overview of their work.
In Bordeaux, the two associations that will be part of the “Partnering for better patient outcome” session are the European Federation of Crohn’s & Ulcerative Colitis Associations (EFCCA) and the European Pain Federation.
EFCCA represents 46 national Crohn’s and Ulcerative Colitis (collectively known as Inflammatory Bowel Disease or IBD) patient associations. EFCCA is an organisation of people united in our commitment to improve the life of over 10 million people living with IBD worldwide (3.4 million in Europe alone) and to give them a louder voice and more visibility.
The European Pain Federation’s (EFIC) objectives are to improve the research, education, and clinical management of pain and serve as an authoritative, science-based resource on issues related to pain and its treatment and to promote multidisciplinary and multi professional pain management and the ‘biopsychosocial’ model of pain.
The session will also have a panel discussion on the importance of patient engagement and the importance of healthcare professionals working collaboratively within the multidisciplinary teams to improve patient outcomes.
