The CD-ROM toolbox collates all the EuroPharm Forum model programmes and includes four central elements, i.e. a fictive case study, a real case study, the Forum guidelines and instruments, and country materials.
The fictive case study is a combination of theory and practice. Subjects like defining goals, implementation barriers, risk analysis, activity plan, communication plan, individual motivation plan and feedback are presented and, together with the EuroPharm models, used to create a guide to managing and implementing a best practice programme at national level. The patient education campaign Ask about your medicines is used as an example to explain the programme and guides the user through the process of adapting the campaign model to the specifics of his country and takes him through all the stages of developing and implementing such a project.
The real case study for inspiration and motivation is from Finland. It describes the development and use of the Ask about your medicines campaign as a tool for professional change, focused on long term goals, as well as objectives and consistent leadership to overcome the barriers that most likely will appear in the process.
The EuroPharm Forum material includes specific practice-oriented programmes within tobacco control, diabetes care, asthma care, hypertension management and patient education, and more general instruments like the communication plan and the feedback system.
The country material includes theories and models used in the EuroPharm Forum member countries and shows for example how the Forum instruments have been used in the specific countries.
