Building on the work of the 2023 summit to improve working conditions affecting the mental health and well-being of pharmacists and pharmacy personnel, APhA, ASHP, and NABP convened the Implementing Solutions Summit 2.0: Building a Sustainable, Healthy Pharmacy Workforce and Workplace. More than 80 attendees from multiple practice settings met to reassess the actionable solutions devised in the first summit. They considered whether those solutions remain relevant, modified them as needed to address the current professional landscape, evaluated progress made to implement them, and prioritized work still needed.

In February 2022, APhA convened 46 pharmacists, pharmacy technicians, pharmacy stakeholders and pharmacy organizations to discuss the challenges faced by community-based pharmacy personnel. The ideas and next steps generated are to serve as the foundation to jointly - employer organizations and pharmacy personnel - engage in frank and meaningful discussion to address issues in their pharmacy practice.
APhA and the National Alliance of State Pharmacy Associations (NASPA) 2021 national pharmacy workplace survey was conducted to learn more about pharmacy workplace issues from pharmacists, pharmacy technicians, and student pharmacists across all practice settings. Nearly 7,000 respondents from across the country and practice settings participated in this study.
In 2019 APhA, along with four national pharmacy organizations, held a national consensus conference, to develop strategies that address pharmacists’ well-being and resiliency and design a path forward. The conference hosted multiple stakeholders from diverse practice perspectives.
