The International Pharmaceutical
Federation has released new
guidance for pharmacists and
pharmacy staff on providing care
for refugees.
Created by an FIP emergency
task force set up last month, the
advisory document “Providing
pharmaceutical care for migrant
populations” details resources to
help pharmacists, particularly those
affected by the current migrant
crisis within Europe.
The task force has considered
how pharmacists can help migrants
clearly communicate symptoms,
with the advisory document linking
to tools available to facilitate
this communication as well as an
example formulary for migrants.
