ASCP met with an organization that arranges senior events and education to help them as they age and met with a regional chapter of their Polish pharmacists geriatric society. We leaned about their annual senior day parade (film to come) and their reverence for the American pilots that worked to liberate Poland from the Germans in World War II. Like the last group of pharmacists, these were also eager to use their knowledge to improve the lives of older people in Poland.

ASCP visited a skilled care nursing home in Warsaw. 5 buildings on a campus (1,000 beds) with an onsite pharmacy staffed by 4 pharmacists. They are doing a technology pilot but ALL medications in Europe are manufactured and dispensed in unit dose packages in boxes. They are “punched” by nurses into soufflé cups. Even the new technology uses soufflé cups in a “pick to light” method. Yes, that is the med cart. 😀 Needless to say we learned a lot today about long term care pharmacy in Poland. #SenioRx #Pharmacists #ascpinpoland Dagmara Zajac, PharmD Chad Worz, PharmD, BCGP, FASCP James Lewis

ASCP in Poland - Day 2! We met with pharmacists in Warsaw on the opportunity for pharmacists to work in long term care settings. While concerned about capability, they were eager to accept the challenge. When e showed them the med list form the case study in the 4Ms webinar. One of the pharmacist’s audibly yelled out a common American expletive. Medication related problems are universally identified by pharmacists. #ascpinpoland #SenioRx
