Did you know? Women make up 72.2% of registered pharmacists in Singapore in 2020. This toolkit encourages pharmacists (especially women) that they can extend their influence at an international level. Building on World Health Professions Alliance (WHPA), Positive Practice Environments Campaign, the “FIPWiSE toolkit for positive practice environments in education & science” is developed to identify and address inequalities in the workplace environments which affects women in pharmaceutical science and pharmacy education, with transferable learnings across the pharmaceutical workforce. The toolkit is designed to raise awareness and provide possible solutions for individuals, employers and institutions that can enable positive practice environments for women in pharmaceutical science and pharmacy education.

Our members, Ms Chung Wing Lam and Ms Chean Ning Wei Tracy, also had the honour to contribute to Factors 2 and 3.

1. Explore the key factors that enable positive practice environments for women in pharmaceutical science and pharmacy education, and the entire pharmaceutical workforce

2. Learn about practical solutions for professionals, employers and policymakers in creating positive practice environments for women in pharmaceutical science and pharmacy education

3. Discuss with the toolkit authors and high-level speakers how to take action and stand up for positive practice environments
