Closed SIGs
EAHP brings together experts from many areas of hospital pharmacy practice providing and highlighting good local sustainable practices as that can be up-scaled and shared with other countries. The EAHP Working Group on Sustainability has the aim of reducing the environmental burden of the hospital pharmacy services.
The European Association of Hospital Pharmacists (EAHP), and its 36 member country platforms are creating a Common Training Framework for the hospital pharmacy education in Europe. The goal of this project is to allow the free movement of hospital pharmacists within the European Union.
The European Association of Hospital Pharmacists (EAHP) and the European Society of Clinical Pharmacy (ESCP) have collaboratively developed the Oath to Society. The Oath to Society is all encompassing and acts as a contract for excellence in providing compassionate patient care, working as part of the healthcare team and advancing the pharmacy profession, and showcasing how clinical and hospital pharmacists work every day
A day created to highlight the importance and to celebrate the work done by hospital pharmacies. This day celebrates all hospital pharmacy teams.

Labour mobility survey report
The last comments by Joan are inserted in the labour mobility survey (HERE). It has been sent to Jennie and will go to the printer towards the end of this week.
Labour mobility launch event
Invitations and reminder haven been sent out. So far only 1 journalist from Politico, Sophie Weisswange (COM) and Gilbert Wieringa (European Federation of Clinical Chemistry and Laboratory Medicine) are planning to join the meeting in addition to EAHP participants (Joan, Petr, Roberto, Stephanie and Gonzalo/Jordi). I will start calling people on Thursday/ Friday.
Roberto is currently reviewing his part of the presentation (HERE)
MEP McGuiness is available to meet with us on 31st January at 5pm in the Parliament. I am currently waiting for a reply form her assistant concerning your access to the parliament.
CTF WGs
WG4 will have a conference call on 18th January. The Steering Committee will get together for a conference call in March. 2 face-to-face meetings are planned, for WG4 (10 March) and the Steering Committee (14 April). No chair person has been found for WG1 yet (no reply from Thomas de Rijdt; Ian has been contacted by Joan). WG3 members have received all information from Gonzalo and are in the process of organising meetings with national member associations.
The presentation for the IAG is in the process of being prepared. I already received feedback from the board leads for AMR, shortages, eHealth and FMD. I will send you the draft presentation either by Friday this week or early next week.
Annual Reception
EPSA’s annual reception will cover the topic of mobility. It’s a 2-hour event that will take place on 8th March in the European Parliament. Doro (the EPSA intern at PGEU) is responsible for the content. EPSA will decide by the end of this week, how the reception should be organised. Crt asked tentatively if EAHP could make an intervention/ potentially join one of the panels. He will provide me with more information once the EPSA Board has taken a decision.
Annual Congress
EPSA is holding their annual congress from 23.4 to 28.4 in Baarlow in the Netherlands. Crtomir asked me if one of our Board members would be interested in becoming a speaker. The speaker could choose a topic (for example: hospital pharmacy in general, CTF). The presentation can either be 1,5 hours or 2 hours. The session will be attended by a maximum of 50 students. The speaker can choose to do the presentation on 26th, 27th and 28th of April. One night accommodation can be provided by EPSA. Participation of EAHP would be highly appreciated.
Agenda:
As discussed during the last policy call, the meeting will be split between presentations and Q&A. Each presenter will have 7 minutes for their presentation (note: Jennie suggested to take out EJHP) and may prepare a maximum of 5 slides. I would suggest allocating the presentations in the following manner:
Slides should be ready by 2nd March to allow some time for putting the final members meeting PowerPoint Presentation together. The draft agenda is available HERE
Hospital Platform meeting
The Hospital Platform met on 10 January. EMVO Stakeholders were present during the meeting. Hospital monitoring was discussed. Indicators should be developed together with Markus (EMVO employee working on monitoring). NMVOs should participate in the monitoring. In addition, the consensus paper (idea by the platform discussed in September) should be finalised as well as a “responsibilities” document which outlines the different steps that need to be taken/ questions that need to be clarified with national competent authorities will be produced. The latter document will be developed on the basis of feedback from France and Norway who are already in advanced discussions with their national competent authorities. The February EMVO Stakeholder Meeting (27 February) and the NMVO Project Mangers meeting (6 March) will discuss the deliverables of the platform.
President’s guest meetings at Congress
Upon the request of Jennie, we modified your meeting schedule for Friday, 23rd March. Instead of meeting with ASPH extremely early in the morning, the meeting will now be held from 10.30 to 11.15.
Do you have the email address of Marianne Ivey (other than MarianneIvey@aol.com) do you have the phone number of Klaus Meier?
Meetings for 13th April 2017
Provided you agree, I could use the 13th of April for more than a potential meeting with PGEU. For instance, we could meet with EPHA (this meeting could replace our annual congress meeting, since EPHA cannot come to congress).
