Highlights of the CPA’s contributions to the programme included…
Embracing innovative solutions to respond to increasing global pharmaceutical care needs
Dr Tim Hanlon is the Chief Pharmacist of one of the UK’s flagship hospital trusts. In this keynote talk, the CPA’s B Patel Lecture, Dr Hanlon used developments in the UK to illustrate responses to the current and future healthcare landscape. He described innovative new ways of working and related these to the wider global picture seen throughout the Commonwealth, including how we can help prepare the profession for new roles and challenges in the years ahead.
Anti-microbial Resistance
AMR continues to be a key area of focus for the CPA. We engaged two excellent international speakers to host two sessions across the conference:
1. A global overview of AMR, including your experiences from around the Commonwealth
2. An AMR stewardship workshop
Elephants, education and evidence – building effective collaborations in resource-poor settings
Our team of experts from our partners CASPPER discussed how to find out how to build a successful collaboration to support the development of the profession overseas.
Refugee Health
Globally this is a very hot topic of discussion for many reasons. We looked at the healthcare challenges for refugees and discuss the role of pharmacists in man made and natural disasters.
