Mental Health Campaign

During the week of 9th-15th May EPSA and IPSF took on a joint Public Health Campaign on the topic of Mental Health.
An estimated 350 million people of all ages suffer from depression worldwide. Depression can cause the affected person to suffer greatly and function poorly at work, at school and in the family. At its worst, depression can lead to suicide.
EPSA and IPSF launched a challenge named "United Against Depression" to help spread awareness about this disease and fight the stigma that surrounds it!
We want to thank everyone who participated using the #UnitedAgainstDepression and #EPSAIPSFphc on Facebook, Instagram and Twitter!

Lifelong Learning Programme

The Lifelong Learning Programme provides students with a more structured approach to personal development. The project has at its basis a competency framework which contains skills and attitudes that students can develop in order to excel in their future role as pharmacy professionals.

Through this project students can document their extra-curricular learning, track their progress and reflect upon their learning by filling in the report forms for each of the competencies they are in the process of developing.

EPSA Individual Mobility Project

EPSA Individual Mobility Project is a long term project that gives the opportunity to students in their late years of studies and recent-graduates of pharmacy or pharmaceutical sciences from all European countries (members of EPSA) to gain an additional real-time working and researching experience in any field of pharmaceutical profession before they fully engage themselves into the professional life.
