Moderators: Chairs to be confirmed Programme: Overview MOMO-0301 - Pharmacists and the Dutch Primary Care Vision 2030 The Dutch Primary Care Vision 2030 strongly focuses on renewing and strengthening primary care to safeguard accessibility, continuity, and quality of care. Within this vision, pharmacists are assigned a crucial and structural role. Together with general practitioners, home care nurses, pharmacists are positioned in so‑called “cohesive neighbourhood networks,” where they collectively respond to local population health needs and contribute to appropriate, person‑centred care. In this session, we will show how Dutch pharmacists are helping to shape this vision, how the pharmaceutical care is transforming, and what innovations and challenges are involved. Participants will gain insight into best practices, multidisciplinary collaboration, and the future perspective of pharmacists within a sustainable primary care system. This session contributes to the FIP learning objectives by enabling participants to: • Gain insight into Dutch initiatives within primary care; • Understand the strategic position of pharmacists in the Primary Care Vision 2030; • Discuss challenges related to collaboration, digitalisation, appropriate care (value based healthcare/necessary care), and funding; and • Be inspired by concrete local and regional examples of how pharmacists contribute to better access to (integrated) care, medication safety, and prevention. Examples that may be discussed during the session: • Formation of regional primary care collaboration structures, in which pharmacists participate in regional agreements on care organisation and infrastructure. • Digital support for primary and pharmaceutical care, including improved medication data exchange and the use of e‑health and omnichannel services. • Pharmacy-led initiatives on prevention and lifestyle, aligned with the shift from disease to health. MOMO-0302 – Integrating pharmacists into national integrated care: Korea’s approach under the Integrated Care Support Act This session will present Korea’s approach to integrating pharmacists into the national integrated care system under the Integrated Care Support Act, which will come into full effect in March 2026. Facing rapid population ageing, increasing multimorbidity, and widespread polypharmacy, Korea has introduced a legal and institutional framework to promote coordinated, community-based care across health and social services. Within this framework, medication management has been identified as a core pillar of integrated care, and pharmacists are expected to play a central role as medication management experts in the community. The presentation will outline the healthcare context that led to the Integrated Care Support Act, describe how medication management is positioned within the integrated care model, and discuss the evolving role of pharmacists in terms of professional boundaries, patient safety, and interprofessional collaboration. Key policy debates in Korea, including generic (INN) prescribing and continuity of care in the context of telemedicine, will be highlighted as practical challenges within integrated care. The session will also briefly introduce future directions enabled by the integrated care framework, such as pharmacist-led contributions to antimicrobial resistance strategies, vaccination services, and the use of digital tools to support coordinated care.
