A tribute to all Pharmacists: World Pharmacist Day (Late Blog)

 

World Pharmacist Day 2021 is celebrated today, September 25. It was on this day International Pharmaceutical Federation (FIP) was founded in 1912.

World Pharmacist Day 2021 is celebrated today, September 25. The day has been marked to celebrate and recognise the role of pharmacists play. The World Pharmacist Day theme 2021 is "Pharmacy: Always Trusted For Your Health". International Pharmaceutical Federation (FIP) established the World Pharmacist Day. It was on this day FIP was founded in 1912. FIP is the global federation of national associations of pharmacists and pharmaceutical scientists.

“By encouraging and supporting FIP member organisations to take part in World Pharmacists Day, FIP is not only raising awareness of the role of the pharmacist in healthcare but also furthering that exact role through increased community involvement on national and local levels,” a statement on FIP website read.

The theme declared for World Pharmacist Day 2021 is "Pharmacy: Always Trusted For Your Health". The theme this year has been chosen to draw special attention to the trust in the health sector and the practice of pharmacy.

“Trust is also essential to health care: there is a significant association between trust in healthcare professionals and health outcomes for patients. Across diverse clinical settings, patients reported greater satisfaction with treatment, showed more beneficial health behaviours and fewer symptoms, and experienced improved quality of life when they had higher trust in their healthcare professionals,” FIP said.

WORLD PHARMACISTS DAY: HISTORY AND SIGNIFICANCE

The International Pharmaceutical Federation (FIP) Council voted to observe World Pharmacist Day in 2009 during the World Congress of Pharmacy and Pharmaceutical Sciences in Istanbul, Turkey. FIP was founded on this date in 1912, and the major goal of this day is to promote the role and actions of pharmacists in promoting health.

The goal of World Pharmacists Day is to stimulate events that promote and advocate for the pharmacist’s role in promoting health in every corner of the world. Pharmacists are responsible for ensuring that people get the most out of their medications. They use their experience, knowledge, and skill to make the (medical) world a better place for everyone. Furthermore, they provide individuals with access to medications, instruct them on how to use them appropriately, and do a variety of other things.

WORLD PHARMACISTS DAY 2021: THEME

The topic for this year is “Pharmacy: Always Trusted for Your Health." The reason behind this theme, according to FIP, is that they believe trust is an essential component of all human interactions and a key component of social capital and is crucial in health care. There is a substantial relationship between trust in healthcare providers and patient health outcomes.

Patients with more confidence in their healthcare practitioners reported better satisfaction with treatment, more positive health behaviors and fewer symptoms, and an enhanced quality of life across a variety of clinical settings.
