Preparing pharmacists for disaster management and practice: protocol for a scoping review with a participatory approach.

ABSTRACT:

Introduction

Emergency humanitarian situations can be caused by extreme weather events, natural disasters, civil conflicts, international wars, terrorism and pandemics, which threaten our health and compromise health systems worldwide. Pharmacists are the third-largest healthcare professional group globally and provide pharmaceutical care and advice to people in need. However, the training opportunities to prepare pharmacists to respond in emergency humanitarian areas are not well described and may be limited. This scoping review aims to understand the extent and type of evidence in relation to training and education activities to prepare future pharmacists for disaster management in humanitarian emergency situations.
