Announcements
The Community Pharmacy Foundation appreciates and fully recognizes the #PharmacyHeros and front-line healthcare providers responding to the COVID-19 pandemic. CPF has compiled resources from several pharmacy and national health organizations in the Timely Topics toolkit section of the website in addition to new Flip the Pharmacy (FtP) Change Packages focused on community pharmacy best practices for COVID-19. The CPF board will hold a condensed virtual meeting in May, and in doing so has adjusted the application submission cycle. The next application review will occur at the August board meeting and the submission deadline is Midnight Tuesday, August 11, 2020 (Pacific Time).
Flip the Pharmacy (FtP)
Flip the Pharmacy is a multi-year community pharmacy practice transformation program where CPF partnered with CPESN® USA to serve as the Coordinating Center for implementation. The first cohort is comprised of 28 teams across the country with over 200 coaches who provide direct guidance on implementing Change Package curricula to over 500 pharmacies.
The FtP Program rapidly adjusted to address the immediate community pharmacy practice needs created by the COVID-19 pandemic. The focus of the Change Package content was reprioritized to address immediate issues of COVID-19 on community pharmacy practice. Pharmacy teams are utilizing care planning and clinical documentation skills developed during the first progression (Oct 2019 - March 2020) to support their patients in this unprecedented period.

ACT Pharmacy Collaborative
The Academia-CPESN Transformation (ACT) Pharmacy Collaborative is an operational learning and ACTing collaborative between colleges/schools of pharmacy and clinically integrated networks of community-based pharmacies. The program launched at the AACP Annual Meeting in July 2019 there are currently 85 colleges/schools involved. Read an update in America's PHARMACIST April 2020 CPESN Brief.
Since the launch in July 2019, a mighty infrastructure has developed that allows quick responses from participating colleges, schools, and CPESN pharmacies when called to action. The current focus is on pairing resources to respond to COVID-19 practice impacts.
The ACT Pharmacy Collaborative is teaming up with CPESN USA to connect pharmacies in need of support during the COVID-19 pandemic with student pharmacists seeking to help. Find out more here.

Blueprint Released
 The ACT Pharmacy Blueprint for Building a National Partnership Collaborative was released during an ACT webinar on Wednesday, March 18, 2020. This Collaborative is designed by pharmacy faculty and community pharmacy owners and leaders to propel community pharmacy practice transformation together – nationwide. The ACT Pharmacy Collaborative provides a mechanism for academia to inspire the next generation of pharmacists while allowing graduates and current students to be a part of the change. This Blueprint contains ideas and resources for colleges/schools of pharmacy to expand their own community pharmacy partnerships nationwide and outlines a roadmap for the ACT Pharmacy Collaborative.
