Hihi..
Just wanna share with you guys on an interesting international pharmacy project.
Ever wondered what it is like to be a Young pharmacist in Portugal, Peru or Pakistan? The FIP Young Pharmacists’ Group has teamed up with one of the British community pharmacy organisations to help you find out through a new online initiative: WEBlogs
The concept of online diaries known as WEBLogs or blogs, started off in the U.S. with a growing number of physicians using them to share best practice. In Great Britain, the Pharmaceutical Services Negotiating Committee (PSNC) launched a community pharmacy WEBlogs site in December 2003 with 12 community pharmacists from across the country sharing their daily experiences of everything from pharmacist prescribing and repeat dispensing to the use of dispensing robots in community pharmacy.
Building on this concept, YPG launched a Global Young Pharmacist WEBlogs site at an international press briefing during the 2004 FIP World Pharmacy Congress. 12 young pharmacists from around the world kept online diaries on the FIP website for 6 months on what is it like to be a young pharmacist.
The project ran until early March 2005 and finished with an online vote to find the Young Pharmacists’ Group’s ‘Favourite WEBloggers.’ The joint winners were Ayad Ali from Iraq and Eurek Ranjit from Nepal.
The site can still be viewed online at: http://www.fip.org/ypgweblogs
The search is now on to find 12 young pharmacists to participate in the 2005/6 YPG WEBlogs Project which will be launched in September and last for 4 months. The deadline for applications to be returned to YPG is 31st August 2005. We received a high number of applicants last year so please include as much infomation about yourself as possible. For more information please email ypg@fip.org or let me know if you are keen.
