L’offerta di collaborazione.

SUBJECT: Proposal for Volunteering Pharmaceutical Scientific Representatives adhering to the 3 provincial sections of the FED.AIISF present in Calabria.

Dear Dr Guido Longo,

gli Informatori Scientifici del Farmaco della Regione Calabria rappresentati da questo Coordinamento Regionale della “Federazione delle Associazioni Italiane degli Informatori Scientifici del Farmaco e del Parafarmaco”, visto l’importante momento storico in cui si stanno mettendo in atto diverse strategie per sconfiggere l’infezione pandemica che sta mettendo a dura prova la tenuta del Sistema Sanitario Regionale, al pari e accanto alle altre figure professionali che operano nel comparto della sanità, intendono mettere al servizio della collettività le loro competenze professionali che attengono al campo della Medicina, della Biologia, della Farmacologia e della Chimica.

Gli Informatori Scientifici sono figure qualificate, formate in ambito universitario e adeguatamente istruite dalle rispettive aziende farmaceutiche anche sull’adozione e rispetto di tutte le procedure in tema di sicurezza, ivi compresa la sanificazione degli ambienti in cui operano e dei mezzi con cui espletano il proprio lavoro.

For the above, the ISF could be employed at dedicated call centres, at the various checkpoints set up for access control, contact tracing and in all administrative operations preparatory to vaccination.

Already in the first phase, our colleagues from Emilia Romagna carried out voluntary work in collaboration with the Regional Health Department; we know that even in Umbria the healthcare companies have requested, and colleagues have accepted, a voluntary collaboration that could alleviate the sudden overload on the Umbrian SSR. We realize that we are going through a historical period that is perhaps unique in its kind (and we hope it will remain so); for this reason, if on the one hand with the "classic" work the informant acted as a privileged interlocutor of the clinician and pharmacist to provide valid and constant updating above all for the appropriate use of drugs, on the other hand the ISFs are also above all citizens who, by virtue of their constant collaboration with the NHS, have the skills and abilities to provide, even voluntarily, valid support to all operators in the sector.

Having said that, the Calabrian ISF intend to offer, on a voluntary basis, their collaboration to the SSR and all its substructures so that the ongoing Sars-Cov-2 pandemic can be contained as much as possible.

I remain at your disposal for any need of this esteemed Department, which falls within our competences, we send you our most cordial greetings.
