Diabetes

The role of pharmacists in preventing and managing diabetes cannot be overstated. Pharmacists are equipped with the necessary skills and knowledge to participate in diabetes care in several ways, ranging from diabetes prevention to screenings and referrals to disease state management and treatment optimisation. In the context of diabetes, pharmacists can leverage their expertise and use new technologies to provide patient care as a valuable member of the healthcare team, thereby making a unique contribution to the clinical outcomes of medicines therapy and consequently to patients’ quality of life. FIP is supporting its member organisations to transform pharmacy practice and promote improved service delivery through the ONE FIP Practice Transformation Programme on Diabetes. The programme aims to provide strategic support to FIP member organisations and individual members to develop and implement pharmacy services that can have a sustained impact in the screening, prevention, management, and treatment optimisation of diabetes. You can find information about the programme here .

Knowledge and skills reference guide for professional development in diabetes (2022)

New diabetes reference guide focuses on helping pharmacists achieve required competencies:
 “Knowledge and skills reference guide for professional development in diabetes”.
FIP has been championing the role of pharmacists in preventing and treating chronic diseases, including diabetes, since 2006, and this latest guide, which is intended as a companion to the FIP diabetes handbook for pharmacists published in 2021, will help pharmacists to identify and acquire the competencies, such as screening and clinical management, they need to provide services for patients with diabetes.
As well as supporting pharmacists to upskill themselves as their careers develop, the new FIP publication is intended to guide the design and delivery of education and training programmes by continuing professional development providers. The guide acknowledges that there are some barriers to and regulations around providing diabetes-related services in some countries but emphasises that “the incorporation of pharmacists into multidisciplinary diabetes care teams should always be strongly considered by clinicians and health policymakers”.
