What are ambassadors so important for the project?

Since the beginning of the project EAHP knew we needed motivated and enthusiastic hospital pharmacists willing to help their countries and others move towards Statement Implementation. For that reason, during the last General Assembly, the EAHP Implementation team asked members associations to appoint national Implementation Ambassadors.

The main role of the ambassador can be summed up as:

• Act as primary link in between EAHP, their national associations and the implementation activities done within their countries.
• Convey to EAHP the needs and priorities of their countries regarding Statement implementation.
• Build resources that will help hospital pharmacists, healthcare professionals and other relevant stakeholders to implement the Statements within their hospitals.

Who are the implementation ambassadors?

So far 34 member countries are represented through their national implementation ambassadors. EAHP is closely working with the national Implementation Ambassadors to help our member countries to move towards Implementation.

The 1^st EAHP Meeting of Implementation ambassadors was held in October 2016 in Brussels and was facilitated by the EAHP Implementation team. Right after this meeting, EAHP designed an action plan for ambassadors.

The 2nd EAHP Meeting of Implementation ambassadors was held on October 2017 in Brussels.

Although each member country has its own particularities, and thus, a different approach to the implementation of the Statements, most of the ambassadors are working on the following:

• Raise awareness
• Identify and approach relevant stakeholders
• Set priorities regarding Statement implementation
• Identify barriers and needs to the implementation
• Help EAHP to build up resources
