Remuneration of pharmacy vaccinations is one of the key policy enablers of pharmacy-based vaccinations, and thus life-course immunisation. FIP data shows that remuneration models vary widely across countries and regions. Understanding the different models and country experiences is key to wider implementation. This event will feature a number of pharmacy leadership bodies sharing their remuneration models and journeys for the benefit of policy-enablement everywhere.

This event is delivered as part of a new FIP programme supported by Pfizer, which aims to provide our members with approaches and tools for tackling key policy enablers that determine equity, access and sustainability of pharmacy-based life-course immunisation.

Often, the most vulnerable population groups experience severe or even lethal forms of vaccine-preventable diseases, as well as losses in quality of life, functional ability and productivity. It is essential to identify these groups and their specific vaccination needs, and to take measures to improve vaccine confidence and uptake among them. Pharmacists play a key role in raising awareness and building confidence in vaccines, and in promoting a convenient access to vaccinations. Over several months, FIP organised a series of events focusing on the vaccination needs of several special-risk population groups. With this final event, we invite you to engage with an intersectoral roundtable on this topic and witness the launch of a summary publication and a series of short videos to support pharmacists in these roles.

By the end of the session participants will:
- Understand the specific vaccination needs of several special-risk population groups
- Become familiar with FIP’s resources on vaccination for special-risk groups
- Discuss the role of pharmacists in promoting vaccination uptake among different special-risk groups

Pharmacists as athlete support personnel have rooted themselves as key players in medical teams serving athletes. Sports pharmacy evolved from a niche practice during the establishment of WADA two decades ago, gaining traction with the publication of the FIP guidelines “The Role of the Pharmacist in the Fight against Doping in Sport” in 2014. Today, we recognise sports pharmacy as a specialty practice, fundamental to the antidoping movement and athlete health. Pharmacists provide accurate sports drug information, avoid inadvertent doping, and coordinate pharmacy services at sporting events. We present two successful models in education and proper training of pharmacists to work with athletes.

Attendees will learn about:

1. Exploring the specialty of sports pharmacy based on expert consensus
2. Discussing a foundation for sports pharmacy curricula
3. Describing a successful example of sports pharmacy practice
