How can i contribute as an individual to attain this vision?
Individual level
Ensure that all chronic care patients who are sent to me have an implementation (pharmaceutical care) plan for their treatment, follow up on them and track their future appointments so that I use that opportunity to evaluate treatment outcomes and set new goals.
I will keep a register of all the patients I provide chronic care to be available for scrutiny by my peers and colleagues, so as to achieve a sustainable continuity of care
I will encourage the people who I will have the privilege to mentor, to embrace pharmaceutical care so that we can be members of a larger team who we can hand over care of our patients between us whenever we are not available to offer the essential service, with the goal of making sure that chronic care of patients is not an intermittent process but a long term continuous commitment.
I will keep records of my interventions for scrutiny by me and my peers both for accountability and for opportunity for me and my peers to learn and improve our practice
I will teach, mentor and grow pharmacists younger than me to reach where I have not reached, to offer services that make more impact than I was able to, with or without compensation or remuneration of any kind.
When my time comes I will provide leadership to pharmacists that will ensure that they realize their goals and have professional satisfaction
As a member of team
I will accept to carry out assignments and responsibilities assigned to me by my peers and professional colleagues that aim to improve the practice of pharmacy
I will be part of the process that ensures that there is a lifelong learning process going on for me and my fellow practitioners
I will take advantage of all opportunities to generate new knowledge in my area of practice and specialization, and target to carry at least one research or clinical audit each year which can be appraised by my supervisor
I will participate actively participate in a society, working group or an association that works to further the interests of the profession
In the Regulation of Pharmacy Practice
I will push for creation of working groups to come up with standards of practice for all the different specializations in pharmacy
I will call for the hospital pharmacy representative to the Pharmacy and Poisons Board (PPB) to buy the idea that regulation should always promote the provision of pharmaceutical care and ensure that the Board makes advancement of pharmacy practice a priority.
I will mobilize the pharmacy practitioners and other stakeholders to keep the laws regulating pharmacy practice up to date and make the medicines that were registered after the last revision of Poisons List legal to be prescribed in Kenya.
o I will make my colleagues aware that the Poisons List Confirmation Order-which gave rise to a Poisons List [5] with two parts, (Part 1 and 2), in the Subsidiary Legislation to section 25 (Order under section 25) of the Pharmacy and Poisons Act-is now obsolete and need revision.
o That the revision of the list (addition or removal of medicines) together with its schedules be revised on an annual basis by pharmacists who have significant knowledge base and skills, and spend most of their time providing care directly to patients.
o That the reclassification of medicines from one prescription status to another is done in a structured way and the changes communicated efficiently to all pharmacists and other interested practitioners.
