This plenary will explore the implications of longevity for the pharmacy workforce and health systems, including ageing populations, workforce shortages, and evolving models of care. It will consider how pharmacists themselves are affected within longer working lives, and how systems can adapt to support a sustainable, resilient, and fit-for-purpose workforce. The session will also highlight policy, regulatory, and practice considerations, including workforce planning, scope of practice, working conditions, and the role of pharmacists in primary health care delivery models—ensuring continuity of care and system sustainability in the context of global demographic change.
