FIP Technology Forum brings you the webinar about Virtual reality (VR). VR has been widely studied and applied in numerous medical applications. In pharmacy, VR can potentially be applied in wide range of activities, from drug design and discovery, though pharmacist education, to in-patient counseling and behavior modification. In this webinar we bring you the examples of VR technology applications in pharmacy. In our webinar, we will showcase and immersive virtual reality in a virtual environment with experience from Finland with our speaker Mia Siven from Helsinki University, where the VR was successfully applied in pharmacy education. We will then present a showcase of immersive virtual reality in a real environment, with speakers Agnes Bobay Madic and Paul Besnier with their example from France. VR technology has become increasingly affordable, flexible, and portable, enabling its use for therapeutic purposes in both inpatient and outpatient environments. But despite the compelling features of VR, a number of challenges exist, such as validation of clinical efficacy, cost/accessibility and usability issues, technical capabilities, acceptance, among others. You will have the opportunity to ask questions in the panel discussion part of the webinar.

mRNA technology was used in developing the first ever COVID vaccine, developed by Pfizer / BioNtech. A number of vaccine or therapeutic products are in developing this technology. This webinare will address the following:

• What is mRNA? (structure and chemistry)
• How does it work in a cell (as either a therapeutic or vaccine)?
• How is it made and at what scale?
• How is it analyzed and characterized?
• By what means can it be delivered to the patient?
• What were the biggest challenges to get mRNA vaccines out to the public in 2020?
• What other notable clinical advances have been made for mRNA based medicines?
• What future directions do we see for mRNA as a therapeutic tool?

This event will focus on the role that pharmacists can play in providing pharmaceutical care for people with hearing impairment or a disability linked to hearing loss. Pharmacists must provide clear messages and adapt their communication strategies to this particular population group to ensure optimal use of medicines and medical devices, and they need to have the knowledge and skills to do so. Also, people with hearing loss face different challenges and this problem becomes more relevant with age. Pharmacists can support patients in detecting early signs of hearing loss and taking the appropriate actions.

Learning objectives:

• Understand how hearing impairment or deafness impact a patient’s quality of life and their capacity to communicate with healthcare professionals.
• Learn about what pharmacists can do to support patients and carers with these conditions.
• Improve communication strategies to advise patients with hearing impairment on how to achieve an optimal use of medicines and medical devices.

Poor medication adherence has emerged as a major public health concern in the last decade, and pharmacists may play a vital role in medication adherence by implementing many of the solutions demonstrated at COVID-19.

FIP adapted the theme "Pharmacy: Always trusted for your health" for World Pharmacy Week; and expanding on that theme, FIP would like to welcome your attendance to this event. The event has been sponsored by an unrestricted educational grant by Pfizer.

The expected outcomes of the event are:
1 to discuss the role of pharmacists in medication adherence and communication.
2 to share some regional and global thoughts on the common communication gaps and challenges that are experienced in all patient facing sectors
3 to highlight various regional and global strengths, accomplishments, and success stories in terms of medication adherence and communication in pharmacy.

Vaccination coverage rates for several diseases are suboptimal and remain below WHO targets in many countries of all income levels. For FIP, it is essential to engage with civil society organisations representing different constituencies – from patient advocacy groups to older adult organisations and to vaccination advocates – to discuss and outline synergistic and complementary advocacy actions for broader access and convenience of vaccination services through a diversity of providers and pathways. This event will gather different civil society organisations to express their concerns, best practices and expectations, namely with regards to the role of pharmacists, for improving vaccination coverage, and to identify potential alignments in advocacy strategies.

Learning objectives:
1. Understand the role of the various civil society organisations in contributing to increased vaccination coverage.
2. Explore drivers and barriers to diversifying vaccination pathways and providers, allowing for better access to vaccination services.
3. Discuss possible actions and synergies by the different stakeholders in addressing vaccine hesitancy and complacency.

Despite all good intentions, all humans carry unconscious biases. How do these impact our ability to provide culturally appropriate care to our patients? This interactive session is meant to target all pharmacists and educators in practice to promote understanding on the influence of unconscious bias on health disparities, like COVID-19. Specifically, experts will share the neuroscience of how implicit bias, strategies to disrupt bias, and address how bias can influence our patient care interactions.

At the end of this session, participants will be able to:
1. Define implicit bias and its impact on health disparities.
2. Discuss the impact of unconscious bias and how it affects our relationships with patients, students, and colleagues.
3. Identify and reflect on own biases.
4. List strategies to mitigate unconscious bias in pharmacy practice to improve patient-centred care.

In this event on World AIDS day, we will explore the different roles pharmacists can have in the prevention and screening of HIV infections and the care and support to people living with HIV. Pharmacists can play an important support role for people living with HIV, through the management of their medication, education for prevention and treatment, but also through HIV prevention through dispensing and providing support to preexposure prophylaxis (PrEP), HIV testing and harm reduction strategies for IV drugs users.

The World Health Organization estimates that around 38 million people live with HIV globally. Although there is still no cure for HIV, with the advancement of therapies and increasing access to effective HIV prevention, diagnosis, treatment and care, including for opportunistic infections, HIV infection has become a manageable chronic health condition, enabling people living with HIV to lead long and healthy lives.

Learning objectives:
1. Describe the burden and characteristics of HIV globally.
2. Understand the possibilities of involvement of pharmacists in the clinical care of people living with HIV.
3. Describe the role of pharmacists in PrEP-related services.
