FIP pharmacy practice SIG
July 5, 2016
THE International Pharmaceutical
Federation has established a
new Special Interest Group (SIG)
on Pharmacy Practice Research,
with the aim of developing new
strategies to increase pharmacy
contributions to global health.
Launched overnight, the new
group’s inaugural chair is Professor
Charlie Benrimoj, head of the
Graduate School of Health at
Sydney’s University of Technology.
“It is thanks to pharmacy practice
research that many pharmacy
services are being offered and
paid for,” Benrimoj said, with the
development of new services also
increasingly being influenced by
practice research.
“The scope of pharmacy practice
research has expanded over the
past 50 years to encompass the
clinical, behavioural and humanistic
implications of the practice of
pharmacy, health care systems,
medicines use and patient care.”
He said the Special Interest Group
on Pharmacy Practice Research
would facilitate global information
exchange between researchers
“in order to produce high quality
evidence at an international level”.
