The EAHP Board, elected for three-year terms, oversees the association’s activities. Comprising directors responsible for core functions, it meets regularly to implement strategic goals. Supported by EAHP staff, the Board controls finances, coordinates congress organization, and ensures compliance with statutes and codes of conduct.
Throughout its over 100 year history, FIP’s priorities have expanded both literally and figuratively to meet the needs and expectations of the profession in expanding healthcare services and integrating emerging scientific developments. Changes in pharmacy and the emergence of Pharmacy Practice as a cornerstone of the profession have lead FIP to become globally visible for its advocacy on behalf of the role of the pharmacist in the provision of healthcare, while still maintaining its grounding in the pharmaceutical sciences.
In parallel, the membership of FIP has evolved to become the most extensive global pharmacy and pharmaceutical sciences network. This network is continuing to expand its presence and influence through partnerships with some of the world’s leading healthcare, educational and scientific institutions.
This year FIP’s annual World congress of pharmacy and pharmaceutical sciences will take place in Glasgow, UK, 2-6 September 2018 under the theme of: “Pharmacy: Transforming Outcomes! New ways for pharmacy to provide better patient care.” The congress is accredited (ACPE and others). It’s preceded by: Immunization training, Pharmacy Technicians symposium, Biosimilar workshop, the AIM Global Deans Forum and the Young Pharmacists Group Leadership Training. The FIP congress welcomes 4000 pharmacists from over 100 countries representing all fields of pharmacy. It’s the global platform for networking and cross-fertilization.
