Advocacy micro-curriculum session: Advocacy frameworks and resources

Advocacy Frameworks and Resources: From Identifying an Issue to Planning Action: How can pharmacists turn a shared concern into a focused advocacy strategy? This session bridges introductory advocacy concepts with the challenges and emerging trends that shape advocacy in practice. Using expanding pharmacist immunization services as a case example within the broader issue of scope of practice, participants explore why frameworks strengthen advocacy, compare approaches, conduct a basic stakeholder analysis, and map an issue through the policy lifecycle. The session also highlights local and international resources to support strategy development. Recognizing that pharmacist roles and policy environments differ worldwide, the session emphasizes selecting frameworks, resources, and strategies that fit the local context while drawing on shared experiences. This session is a part of the FIP Academic Section and IPSF Micro curriculum.
