WORLD PHARMACISTS DAY 2023

People all over the world observe World Pharmacists Day on 25 September every year. 

World Pharmacists Day is a celebration of every Pharmacist, Pharmaceutical Scientist, and others who are part of this field. Four million people are engaged in this profession around the globe.

World Pharmacists Day was launched by the International Pharmaceutical Federation (FIP) in 2009. The main purpose behind celebrating this day is to highlight the major contributions of Pharmacists in the field of Health Improvement. These contributions focus on Health Promotion as well as Safe, Effective, and Cost-Effective Pharmacotherapy.

This year, the “World Pharmacists Day Theme” of the GAU Faculty of Pharmacy is “REACHING BEYOND THE ‘10 STAR PHARMACIST’ CONCEPT”.

‘10 Star Pharmacist Concept’, which is an extention of the “Seven-Star Pharmacist” introduced by WHO (World Health Organization) in 2014, focuses on the following Roles or the Pharmacists: Pharmaceutical Caregiver, Researcher, Manager, Communicator, Leader, Life-Long Learner, Decision-Maker, Entrepreneur, Teacher, Agent of Positive Change. 

“REACHING BEYOND THE ‘10 STAR PHARMACIST’ CONCEPT’ THEME underlines the “NEW ROLES AND RESPONSIBILITIES FOR THE PHARMACISTS, RESKILLED UPSKILLED PHARMACIST COMPETENCY FRAMEWORK, ADVANCED PHARMACY PRACTICE SPECTRUM, and VALUE-CREATING PHARMACY SERVICES”.

 “COGNITIVE PHARMACEUTICAL SERVICES, PROACTIVE CONTRIBUTION TO TEAMWORK IN HEALTHCARE, EVIDENCE-BASED IMPACT ON HEALTH OUTCOMES and INNOVATION-BASED PHARMAPRENEURSHIP (INNOVATIVE ENTREPRENEURSHIP IN PHARMACY PRACTICE)” are the “BUILDING BLOCKS” 

of this Theme.

These BUILDING BLOCKS which design the FUTURE OF THE PHARMACY PROFESSION also shape the VALUES and MISSION of the GAU FACULTY OF PHARMACY.

The Pharmacy Education in GAU Faculty of Pharmacy is continually updated in line with these Building Blocks to Empower our Student Pharmacists for their future Professional Roles and Responsibilities.
