Do podcasts improve pharmacy students’ learning? 🎙️
A systematic review, published in Pharmacy Education, examines nine studies exploring how podcasts shape pharmacy students’ knowledge, engagement, and empathy. The majority of studies found that podcasts boosted learning and enthusiasm, especially when students created or discussed them, though traditional lectures still led in knowledge retention. With empathy gains and high learner satisfaction, podcasts are redefining how future pharmacists connect, learn, and reflect.

On World Hospital Pharmacy Day, we join the theme “All in for our patients.” Hospital pharmacists are working under increasing pressure—managing complex therapies, advancing clinical services, and supporting education and research, often with limited time and resources.

Emerging digital tools and generative AI offer new opportunities to enhance efficiency and decision-making across clinical pharmacy, research, education, compounding, and operations. However, their use must be approached with care, considering ethical, technical, and reliability challenges.

Pharmacists remain essential to ensuring safe, effective, and patient-centred care—today and every day.

“Stay on track with your treatment, protect your health” is today’s message on World Adherence Day. 9 in 10 healthcare professionals consider medication adherence a moderate or major health problem, according to the World Heart Federation (WHF). To address this, WHF has shared resources highlighting system gaps and practical ways forward:�https://world-heart-federation.org/world-adherence-day/ andhttps://world-heart-federation.org/wp-content/uploads/Adherence-Wordbook_V4_web.pdf

Pharmacists play a role in improving adherence by counselling patients, simplifying treatment regimens, and providing ongoing support—particularly for those living with chronic conditions. FIP also offers resources through its non-communicable diseases programme to support pharmacists in this area:�https://ncd.fip.org/.

Ireland’s landmark Community Pharmacy Agreement 2025 is redefining pharmacy practice through strategic collaboration, enhanced funding, and expanded clinical roles. Led by the Irish Pharmacy Union under President Tom Murray, the reform ends nearly two decades of limited engagement with policymakers and introduces a 12% increase in core dispensing fees alongside dedicated funding for new services. The agreement strengthens pharmacists’ clinical role, expands services such as vaccination and prescribing, and reduces administrative burden through digital solutions. By prioritising both core functions and service expansion, Ireland offers a model for sustainable pharmacy reform, reinforcing the profession’s role in addressing healthcare system pressures: https://australasianpharmacy.com.au/articles/2026/03/inside-irelands-pharmacy-reset-collaboration,-core-fees-and-a-new-model-of-practice

Who we are

FIP’s strategic plan, adopted in 2019, is to ensure that the federation is an integral participant in global health care decisions and actions. As such, the vision that we hold is that wherever and whenever decision-makers discuss any aspects of medicines on a global level, FIP is at the table.

We are enabled to succeed in this vision through the recognition and respect we gain through the fulfilment of our mission, which is to improve global health by advancing pharmaceutical education, pharmaceutical sciences and pharmaceutical practice thus encouraging, promoting and enabling better discovery, development, access to and responsible use of appropriate, cost-effective, quality medicines worldwide.
