Brussels, 17
March 2020.
The European
Association of Hospital Pharmacists (EAHP) is closely monitoring developments
linked to the novel coronavirus (COVID-19) across its member countries. To
assist its member associations and individual hospital pharmacists in this
critical time with the provision of the best possible care for patients, EAHP
has decided to gather and make available information on COVID-19 relevant for
the hospital pharmacy profession. The collected information has been included
in EAHP’s COVID-19
Resource Centre accessible via the Association’s
website.
The COVID-19 Resource
Centre seeks to ensure that hospital pharmacists are provided with up-to-date
information and guidance on protection measures, surveillance and treatment
options for patients infected with the disease. The initiator of the resource
collection, EAHP President Petr Horák outlined: “Hospital pharmacists across Europe, are together with
other medical personnel, at the forefront of fighting the coronavirus
pandemic. The decision to launch EAHP’s COVID-19 Resource Centre was taken to
support the efforts of the hospital pharmacy profession and to facilitate the
exchange of knowledge among different European countries. Sharing of best
practices is vital to ensure the best care for our patients.”
EAHP is encouraging
hospital pharmacists to submit useful resources via the following
email: covid19@eahp.eu.
Materials in native languages can be shared. They should, however, be
accompanied by a short English description and a translation of the name of
the document into English to ease the orientation of the users of the
resource centre. Information provided to EAHP will be made available in the
Association’s COVID-19 Resource Centre to ensure that as many individual
hospital pharmacists as possible have access to best practices applied in
other hospitals across Europe.
