Introduction:
To offer an update on the Call to Actions (CsTA) projects, advancement of the FIP Development Goals (DGs) and current workforce trends with the GPO.
The FIP Hub has continued to drive progress in alignment with the FIP DGs, the global framework guiding transformation across pharmacy workforce, education, practice and science. A major focus for 2025-26 has been the continued advancement of the CstA projects, a roadmap developed with global experts and rooted in the DGs. These projects are designed to accelerate transformation in areas of high relevance to our members and the wider profession, including specialisation, digital transformation, emerging practice environments, mental health, gender equity, and prescribing.
Together, these initiatives exemplify FIP’s commitment to building a flexible, future-ready profession capable of delivering person-centred care and innovation in pharmacy.
This session will
- Demonstrate how Hub projects are advancing the FIP DGs
