Modellen för en farmaceutisk ed, eller löfte, antogs vid FIP-kongressen i Bangkok tidigare i höst.
Den är tänkt att användas som en mall för enskilda länder som saknar en farmaceutisk ed.
– Det är upp till varje land eller region att implementera eden på det sätt som man anser passar, och antingen göra den frivillig eller obligatorisk, sa Luc Besancon, FIP:s generalsekreterare, på ett pressmöte under kongressen enligt brittiska Pharmaceutical Journal.
Vill du själv svära den farmaceutiska eden, eller kanske känna efter om du lever upp till den till vardags?
Så här lyder den på engelska:
“As a pharmacist, I vow to serve humanity and to support my profession’s ideals and commitments.
I shall be guided in all dimensions of my life by the highest standards of human conduct.
I shall apply the full measure of my knowledge and abilities to supporting the health and wellbeing of all those I serve.
I shall always place the needs of all those I serve above my personal interests and considerations.
I shall treat all those I serve equally, fairly and with respect, regardless of gender, race, ethnicity, religion, culture or political beliefs.
I shall protect the confidentiality of personal and health information entrusted to me.
I shall maintain my professional knowledge and competence throughout my career.
I shall support the advancement of knowledge and standards of practice in pharmacy.
I shall nurture the preparation of future members of my profession.
I shall use all opportunities to develop collaborative practice with all healthcare professionals in my environment.
In taking this solemn oath/making this promise, I honour those who have supported my development as a pharmacist and commit myself never to act in a manner that is contrary to those vows.”
