2013 FIP World Congress

The 2013 FIP World Congress is set to convene in Dublin, Ireland, under the theme "Towards a Future Vision for Complex Patients: Integrated Care in a Dynamic Continuum." This theme encapsulates the essence of the rapidly evolving landscape of healthcare, where advancements in science, technology, and communication necessitate constant adaptation from professionals across the field.

In this ever-changing environment, the pharmacy profession must remain at the forefront of innovation, responding effectively to both medical breakthroughs and shifting patient needs. The congress aims to address these critical developments, emphasizing the pivotal role pharmacists play in delivering comprehensive patient care within increasingly complex settings.

Ireland's pharmacy sector is currently experiencing its most significant transformation in recent history, driven by legislative changes aimed at regulating the profession and broadening the scope of pharmacists' responsibilities. Since Dublin last hosted the Congress back in 1975, much has evolved, and these transformative experiences are poised to be shared with visiting delegates. The goal is to foster a collaborative environment where insights and best practices can be exchanged, ultimately enhancing the quality of patient care on a global scale.

We aspire for Dublin to not only mirror the success of the Centennial FIP Congress but also to become the premier gathering point for our international network of pharmacists. This event promises to be a landmark occasion, bringing together thought leaders, practitioners, and innovators to discuss and shape the future of pharmacy practice.
