“International Pharmaceutical Students' Federation”的意思、由来-开放百科全书

}}The International Pharmaceutical Students' Federation (IPSF) is a non-governmental, non-political and non-religious organisation that represents pharmaceutical students, pharmacy students and recent graduates from all over the world. It was founded in 1949 and it is the oldest faculty-based student organisation. IPSF represents over 320,000 individuals in more than 80 countries with more than 100 different representative pharmacy student organisations.

Every pharmacy and pharmaceutical student, and recent graduates up to four years after receiving their degree may become a member of the Federation individually, or via a representative organisation of pharmacy students.

The Federation is engaged in the following areas: pharmacy education, public health, professional development, advocacy, cultural awareness, and partnerships developing pharmacists worldwide.

The IPSF Team is entirely student-run and is composed of more than 150 volunteers;^[1]

Introduction

IPSF holds official relations^[2] with the World Health Organization (WHO) and with the United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization (UNESCO).^[3] IPSF works in close collaboration with the International Pharmaceutical Federation (FIP).^[4] The IPSF Secretariat is supported and hosted by FIP in The Hague, The Netherlands.

History

The idea of forming IPSF came in 1948 from then-Secretary of the British Pharmaceutical Students' Association, Stephen B. Challen during the 6th Annual Congress of BPSA. The Constitution of the Federation was agreed and signed on August 25, 1949 in London during the Inaugural Conference, marking the organization's founding date. On the same day, Sidney J. Relph was elected as the first President of IPSF along with 4 other Executive Committee members. The 8 founding countries were Austria, Australia, Denmark (also voting for Finland, Norway and Sweden), Iceland, Ireland, Netherlands, Switzerland and United Kingdom.

Objectives^[5]

How to be a member^[1]

Every organisation wishing to join IPSF must first become a Member in Association. If you are interested in becoming a member, you should contact the Chairperson of Internal Relations ask for the Membership Form.

You should then send the completed form along with the organisation's constitution in an official IPSF language (English, Arabic, French and Spanish) to Chairperson of Internal Relations.

Afterwards, the IPSF Treasurer shall send you an invoice for the annual membership fee, which has to be paid at least 12 hours before the annual General Assembly commences (around the late July).

Then, at the General Assembly, your delegation, either in person or via Skype, provides a 5-minute long presentation of the organisation. The presentation is then followed by discussion and secret voting by the General Assembly for the acceptance of your organisation, giving you the status of a Member in organisation.

In order to become a Full Member, the organisation has had to have been a MiA for at least one year while also being nationally representative of pharmacy students in a given country. However, according to IPSF Official Documents, if the national organisation does not wish to attain Full Membership, another organisation of any size from the same country may apply. The application and acceptance procedure is then very much the same as for the MiAs.

IPSF also offers individuals to become part of IPSF on their own, should they so desire. An individual may become one of the following:

Individual Membership is reserved for pharmacy and pharmaceutical science students or recent graduates up to four years after graduating from their first degree in pharmacy or pharmaceutical sciences.

On the other hand, any individual who wishes to contribute to the advancement of the aims of the Federation to the best of their capabilities, may become a Friend of the Federation. They are thus considered to be affiliated individuals of the Federation.

Lastly, IPSF also recognizes exceptional individuals who have contributed greatly to the status and the goals of the Federation. These are:

Honorary Life Members are elected at the annual IPSF World Congress. They must be nominated by two organisations and must be accepted by the General Assembly.

Alumni are, like Friends of the Federation, affiliated individuals of IPSF. To become an Alumni, the individual has to have been one of the following:

To be recognized as an Alumnus and if the criteria are met, IPSF Membership Coordinator should be contacted by the interested individual to receive the Alumni Form.

Projects

The Federation runs several projects during the year, mainly on Pharmacy Education, Professional Development, Public Health and on Student Exchange. Some of those projects are made and implemented by IPSF alone, and others depend on the active participation of member organisations.

Pharmacy education

The Pharmacy Education Portfolio focuses on promoting and developing pharmacy education worldwide, a critical objective of the Federation. A key partner of this portfolio in helping meet its objectives is FIPEd (FIP Education Initiative). The main projects are:

Publications

Competitions

The main competitions include the Poster Competition, held during IPSF Official Events, and the Critical Essay competition, held in collaboration with FIPed. Information regarding the posters, such as size, format and subject are shared with the Contact Persons and in the call for abstracts prior the event. This information will also be made available on the IPSF website.

Research

The Pharmacy Education Portfolio undertakes various research projects. The opportunities may be for direct involvement or for collaborating on sharing and promoting the project.

Internships

The Federation releases calls for Internships with several partners, such as the World Health Organization, International Federation of Pharmaceutical Manufacturers and Associations, International Pharmaceutical Federation among others. These calls are shared with the Contact Persons and with IPSF students through the website and the Facebook Page. Each call may contain different criteria, as criteria pertains to the specific internship.

Professional development

IPSF is committed to ensuring quality pharmacy education and promoting the role of the pharmacist. Professional Development involves the process of active participation in formal and informal learning activities that assist individuals in developing and maintaining continuing competence, enhancing their professional practice, supporting achievement of their career goals, and optimizing health outcomes as an integral member of the health professional team.

Through professional skills workshops and competitions, pharmacy awareness campaigns and leadership training opportunities, IPSF strives to enhance the knowledge, skills, attitudes and values required by pharmacy professionals and students for their future practice.

Patient Counseling Event

The Patient Counselling Event (PCE) aims to demonstrate the importance of communication and counselling skills for pharmacists, increase the awareness of pharmacists as public educators, and encourage and promote the development of the pharmacy profession through an expanded scope of practice.

IPSF held their first Patient Counselling Event at a congress in 1989 and today, the PCE is held at every IPSF World Congress, IPSF Regional Symposia and by many of our member organisations under the Professional Development portfolio. The main objectives for the Patient Counselling Event are to promote training in communication skills, and provide an opportunity for pharmacy students and pharmacists to learn how to effectively interact with patients, determine and address any drug therapy problems and educate patients on many medications and disease states in a fun and competitive environment.

Clinical Skills Event

The IPSF Clinical Skills Events (CSE) provide educational opportunities for members from across the globe to enhance and demonstrate their clinical pharmaceutical knowledge. The purpose of this event is to increase pharmacy students' awareness of the importance of the pharmacist's role in direct patient care. Individuals and teams compete by demonstrating their skills in assessing patient information and current therapy, identifying and prioritizing drug therapy problems, identifying treatment goals, and recommending a pharmaceutical care plan.

This activity is an interactive, individual or team-based analysis of clinical scenarios for hospital/health-system pharmacists and is open to all students ranging from first year students to recent graduates.

Compounding Event

The Compounding Event (CE) was created to highlight the importance and the necessity of compounding skills within the pharmacy profession, especially as we are moving towards personalized medicine in health care. This event was first introduced at the 59th IPSF World Congress in Utrecht, the Netherlands in 2013. The Compounding Event has four main objectives:

The CE generally has two levels of difficulty, beginner and advanced, and typically begins with an introductory workshop. Following the workshop, students will be given a case and will be challenged to determine the best method to compound the formulation and prepare a finished product.

Pharmacy Profession Awareness Campaign

The Pharmacy Profession Advocacy Campaign (PPAC) is aimed at educating the public, policy makers, and other health care professionals about the role pharmacists play as an integral part of the health care team. It aims to provide insight on the daily functions of pharmacists from various sectors, and to promote awareness of the pharmacy profession at all levels, from students and recent graduates, to the general public.

Leaders in Training

The IPSF Leaders In Training program aims to impart the necessary leadership and management skills important for taking up professional roles in the future. The main objective of the LIT program is to equip participants with the skills needed to effectively take on roles of responsibility within the Federation as well as in their professional career. These include global roles in health issues, policy making and the pharmacy profession itself.

From the point of a sustainable all round development of personality, leaders in training tries to impart skills such as general leadership responsibilities, strategic planning, project management, teamwork, time management, communication and public speaking, advocacy, etc.

The trainings are delivered by IPSF’s Certified Trainers, as well as members of the IPSF Executive Committee to ensure enough acquaintance to IPSF. The Leaders in Training program is held every year prior to the IPSF World Congress in addition to some of the IPSF Regional Symposia and also locally within some of our member Organisations.

Trainers Development Camp

The IPSF Trainers Development Camp aims to develop a high quality and sustainable training program for pharmaceutical students and recent graduates worldwide. In order to maintain our leadership programs to an exceptional standard and provide sustainable future leadership within IPSF we need to produce quality trainers to pass down this information. The IPSF TDC provides participants with a background on experience based learning and equips them with the necessary skills set in order to prepare and conduct trainings. IPSF certified trainers are then able to deliver trainings and workshops within the Leaders in Training program and other educational events (IPSF Regional Symposia, IPSF World Congress, etc.).

Public Health

IPSF strives to engage member organisations in initiatives that positively influence health and health knowledge within their communities. The Federation plays an active role in promoting and implementing Public Health activities and our work is greatly aided by our collaboration with the World Health Organization (WHO). The Federation currently holds six focuses, divided into Health Awareness, Medicine Awareness, and Humanitarian categories.

Health awareness section

HIV/AIDS awareness campaign

In 1987, the World Health Organization (WHO) dedicated December 1 to raising awareness of HIV and the AIDS pandemic. As a partner of WHO, IPSF organisations across the globe organise each year the HIV/AIDS campaign aimed at spreading awareness about HIV, its transmission as well as the ways of prevention.

Tobacco Alert Campaign

Along with its partner, the WHO, IPSF celebrates World Tobacco Day the 31 May. During this day, IPSFers educate their society about the consequences of consuming tobacco and derivatives. The goal of the Tobacco Alert campaign, is to make young individuals aware of the dangers of tobacco and involve them in the fight against it in order to decrease the use of tobacco.

Healthy Living and Diabetes Campaign

The Diabetes and Healthy Living Campaign, launched in August 2005, aims to raise awareness of a healthy lifestyle in the prevention and care of diabetes and to encourage pro-active rather than reactive health promotion. To celebrate World Diabetes Day on November 14, IPSF motivates its organisations to collaborate with interdisciplinary organisations from different medical disciplines in order to plan the campaign. During the campaign, IPSF members put their knowledge into practice in order to inform people about diabetes and the risk factors that can accelerate the affection, as well as the steps that should be undertaken to limit the development of this disease. As part of this Campaign, IPSF participates in Healthy Living activities on World Health Day each April 7. World Health Day was developed during the first World Health Assembly of the World Health Organization on 7 April 1948. In 1950, the Assembly declared this date as World Health Day to mark the World Health Organization’s founding and garner worldwide attention to a particular subject concerning global health.

Tuberculosis awareness campaign

In 1996, the WHO joined hands with the International Union Against Tuberculosis and Lung Disease (IUATLD), and today, the Stop TB partnership has been formed as a network of organisations and countries fighting against TB. The goal of this partnership is to eradicate TB by 2050. IPSF has been a strong advocate of organising this campaign to promote awareness about tuberculosis. On 24 March, referring to the official world TB day, IPSF organisations organise the tuberculosis awareness campaign in their home countries, where they share their knowledge as pharmacists and educate the population on the danger of tuberculosis which is still unknown by many individuals.

Medicine awareness section

Anti-Counterfeit Drug Campaign

According to a WHO announcement, the existence of substandard, spurious, falsely labelled, falsified and counterfeit (SSFFC) medical products is an unacceptable risk to public health.

The Anti-Counterfeit Drug Campaign (ACDC) works towards helping healthcare students create advocacy campaigns in their countries to help combat the problems of counterfeit and substandard medications. IPSF in collaboration with other stakeholders and organisations tends to act against the unlimited growing of fake medicines by raising awareness and advocacy actions.

Medicine Awareness Campaign

The Medicine Awareness Campaign's goal is to improve awareness among healthcare students and others about medicines in different aspects. In this portfolio you can find subjects such as Antimicrobial resistance (AMR), rational use of medicines, drug abuse, drug disposal and any other issues related to medicines.

A related campaign is the "Drug disposal campaign", in which IPSF focusses on the effect of unstandardized ways of medicine disposal on environment. Raising awareness among healthcare systems, advocacy campaigns and events for drug disposal in community pharmacies is recommended.

Humanitarian section

Vampire Cup

The Vampire Cup is an international blood donation competition among all the IPSF organisations and it was launched in 2011. By participating in the Vampire Cup, members are building the spirit of inter organisation competition, promoting international relationships, and the most important: saving lives. There are two ways to compete: Regular Vampire Cup and the Live Vampire Cup.

In both cases, the organisations need to submit a registration form and a tracker form by the given deadlines. The Live Vampire Cup occurs on specific days decided by the IPSF team. Traditionally, the days chosen are around World Blood Donor Day, June 14.

Advocacy activities

Executive Board Meeting

The WHO Executive Board has 34 members who are technically qualified and are designated by Member States that have been elected to serve by the World Health Assembly. The main functions of the Board are to implement the decisions and policies of the Assembly, and advise and facilitate its work.

During the month of January, the Executive Board convenes to discuss and agree upon the agenda for the Assembly, and to adopt resolutions which will be considered during the Assembly.

Every year, representatives from IPSF attend the Executive Board Meeting to identify what priority issues will be discussed and to determine where the IPSF can contribute in the development of interventions. It is also through this opportunity that the IPSF can build new connections with different Member State actors.

World Health Assembly

The World Health Assembly (WHA) is the decision-making body of the World Health Organization. It is annually attended by delegations from all WHO Member States, as well as Non-State Actors. Furthermore, it focuses on the specific health agenda prepared by the Executive Board.

Every year, the IPSF calls for its members to be part of the IPSF Delegation to attend the WHA during the month of May in Geneva, Switzerland. The selected members are then orientedand trained on how they can actively participate and effectively engage in deliberations, discussions and events, in order for the IPSF to establish new partnerships and sustain existing connections with various stakeholders, and to develop collaborative projects and programs.

Student Exchange Programme

Student Exchange Programme (SEP) is IPSF's largest project, offering professional pharmacy internships. Every year, more than 900 students around the world are given the opportunity to experience the field of pharmacy in one of the 65 participating countries.

The Student Exchange Programme therefore enables cultural exchange between pharmacy students around the world by sharing knowledge and experiences.

The 74 member Organisations of IPSF involved in SEP organise the exchanges by finding host sites where the students are trained. The programme runs throughout the year (Winter version and Summer version), but the majority of the exchanges take place between May and September.

The length is usually 1 to 3 months with a minimum of 60 working hours per exchange, and possible host sites include:

The host may also provide room, board and/or pocket money in addition to the training site in order to help the applicant.

If you are a member of an IPSF member organisation, please contact the IPSF Student Exchange Officer (SEO) of your organisation for more information on the application procedure. For any other information about SEP please visit the website.

Events

The Official Events of the Federation are the World Congress and the Regional Symposia – They happen yearly and are defined two years in advance and they do not overlap. The full costs for participating in the IPSF events are on the participant (Tickets and registration fee).

The Registration Fee is defined by the host, and it cannot be bigger than 45 Euros per day.

The host, after being elected at the General Assembly or Regional Assembly, appoints a Reception Committee (RC) – A committee that will be in charge of organising the event, with the Executive Committee. Near to the event, the RC can appoint a Helping Committee (HC) to add human resources to the work.

The head of the organisation, the “Chairperson of World Congress/Regional Symposium” is co-opted in the Executive Committee/Regional Working Group for the term of the office in which the event will be held.

Other annex events that may happen with World Congress or Regional Symposium are the Leaders in Training and the Post Congress Tour.

World Congress

The World Congress is the main event of the Federation and usually lasts for 10 days. They have been held yearly since 1961. The first conference happened in London, United Kingdom at 1949, and the first Congress happened in 1957 in Mosney, Ireland.

The first World Congress outside Europe was in the African Regional Office in 1974, in Cape Town, South Africa. The Pan American Regional Office then hosted their first Congress in 1977 in Mexico City, Mexico. The Eastern Mediterranean Region followed with in 1984 in Alexandria, Egypt. The Asia Pacific Regional Office then hosted their first Congress in 2003 in Singapore.

Regional Symposia

Today, four Regional Offices organise a Regional Symposium yearly, which usually last for 7 days.

The only obligatory activity of the Regional Symposia are the Regional Assemblies. However, they usually resemble the World Congress.

IPSF Grants and Development Fund

IPSF awards a number of grants throughout the year to help ensure students and member organisations can fully participate in IPSF events despite financial barriers.

Four types of grants are awarded over the year. Two are applied for by member organisations and two are applied for by student members individually. Grants are awarded based on the submitted applications reviewed by the IPSF Treasurer, the Development Fund Coordinator and the Development Fund Committee.

Membership Grant

The Membership Grant is made available to Full Member organisations and Members in Association who have been members of IPSF for at least one year. Any such organisation facing financial difficulties, if awarded a grant, may have their annual membership fees waived for the year.

An organisation can only apply for the Membership Grant twice every three years, if awarded the organisation is expected to complete at least one IPSF project, excluding SEP, in the 12 months following receipt of the grant. In addition, the organisation is expected to submit an article to be published in an IPSF publication.

Project Grant

The Project Grant is made available to Full Member Organisations and Members in Association planning to undertake a project or campaign and could benefit from financial assistance.

Appropriate projects are not strictly defined, but they should benefit the members of the applying organisation or the public, and should be relevant to a current IPSF campaign or project.

Event Grant

The Event Grant is designed to better allow pharmacy students facing financial barriers to attend an IPSF event. Students intending to attend the IPSF World Congress or one of the Regional Symposia should submit an application to the Development Fund Committee.

The criteria for a successful application generally focuses on financial need including, but not limited to, cost of travel, visa, registration fee, personal resources, and World Bank economic classification of applying member’s country.

Successful applicants are expected to submit all relevant receipts and a report detailing their experiences at the IPSF event to the Development Fund Coordinator.

SEP Grant

The objective of the Student Exchange Grant is to allow pharmacy students with limited financial resources the opportunity to participate in the IPSF Student Exchange Programme.

The SEP Grant may cover part of the travel expenses (bus, train or plane tickets) from the applicant’s home country to the country in which the exchange occurs and the SEP fee. The maximum monetary value of the grant may be 1000 Euro and if the actual costs incurred are less than the awarded grant, only the amount of the actual costs will be paid.

The grant will be paid only after completion of the exchange and submission of the required documents. In addition, the applicant’s student exchange fee will be returned to the respective member organisation or to the applicant in the case of an individual membership

Eligible candidates must be currently studying for their pharmacy undergraduate degree (first pharmacy degree) or recent graduate of their first pharmacy degree (up to four years after the date of their graduation). An applicant may be an IPSF member through an IPSF Member Organisation (Full Member or Member in Association) or as an Individual Member (currently undergraduate or recent graduate of their first pharmacy degree).

All candidates may apply after their AF (application form) is either placed or marked successful in the database.

Grant awardees are expected to complete a report of their SEP experience to be submitted to the Development Fund Coordinator and to the Chairperson of Student Exchange along with relevant receipts of their expenses.
