Educational and Scientific Symposia

At the IPSF World Congress symposia, expert speakers will speak to pharmacy students and recent graduates on the current trends in pharmaceutical education and science. Renowned speakers’ intelligence, professional knowledge, and experience will provide a chance for pharmacy students and recent graduates to reflect on their roles in the future, to cope with environmental changes and innovations in digital healthcare. At the Symposium of the 70th IPSF World Congress, participants will learn, network and share their thoughts on global health. The Congress scope is highly relevant and timely as it encapsulates the critical role that pharmacy education and practice play in addressing global health challenges and improving healthcare outcomes worldwide.

Themed Workshops

The workshops at the IPSF World Congress will be educational, informative and social. Using peer-learning techniques and other interactive measures, these workshops will convey suggestions on how the pharmacists’ role should change in this rapidly changing era. Also, this will be a critical time to discuss how community pharmacies and pharmaceutical industries contribute to the pharmacy system, health & medical treatment, public health and pharmacy education. In the social parts of workshops, Kenyan traditional and various contents are present. Thus, this session will offer valuable time for participants to broaden knowledge not only about pharmacy but in diverse fields.

Public Health Campaign

Public Health campaign aims participants to offer positive influences about health and health knowledge to communities. Through joining this programme, they also develop communication and delivering information skills. The public health campaign theme focuses on Adult diseases, chronic diseases, misuse and abuse of medicines. Therefore, participants put tremendous effort on learning and familiarizing the information above all, preparing various contents about prevention and management of diseases and methods of using medicines.

Professional Development Events

IPSF is committed to promoting the role of the pharmacist. Professional Development Events involve the process of active participation in learning activities that assist individuals in developing and maintaining continuing competence, enhancing their professional practice and optimising health outcomes as an integral member of the health professional team. Through professional skills competitions, such as compounding, clinical skills, patient-counselling and industrial skills events, IPSF strives to enhance the knowledge, skills, attitudes and values required by pharmacy professionals and students for their future practice.
