Disaster Management in Pharmacy: Preparing for Climate Crisis

Healthcare facilities are subject to increasing challenges related to climate change, including full facility evocations following extreme weather and other climate-exacerbated disasters.

Join us in hearing the first-hand account from hospital pharmacist Sarah Stroeder on the challenges encountered during the Yellowknife evacuation, and the impact on the hospital pharmacy. Joining Sarah to give her insight and expertise is Kaitlyn Watson, a pharmacy disaster planning specialist.

CASCADES’ Pharmacy, Prescribing and Climate Action webinar series is designed to address the increasing challenges the pharmacy profession is facing and explore opportunities for change. It is organized in partnership with the Centre for Practice Excellence at the University of Toronto Leslie Dan Faculty of Pharmacy, Dalhousie University’s College of Pharmacy in the Faculty of Health, the Faculty of Pharmaceutical Sciences at the University of British Columbia and other university partners.
