Community pharmacists are pivotal in guiding individuals through self-care approaches to throat and mouth inflammations, providing non-prescription medicines and essential advice for symptom management. FIP organised an advisory insight board in November 2023 with frontline community pharmacists, policy experts, educators and researchers to explore the role of pharmacists globally in the effective management of throat and mouth inflammation and to obtain information on the different strategies and challenges faced by pharmacists in this area. This was followed by a FIP digital event in October 2024 at which speakers shared approaches for managing sore throat and mouth inflammation.
