Abstract

The last week of September 2023 was filled with colourful hands, celebrations, fun and education to unite to promote patient healthcare.

The clinical pharmacy team at the School of Pharmacy (SOP) at the University of the Western Cape (UWC) collaborated with the postgraduate committee and the UWCAPS team to present a colour jam event on campus. The team also worked with the pharmacy at New Somerset hospital to host a similar event there. The purpose of the colour jam event was to raise awareness about antimicrobial resistance, and how we as healthcare professionals and communities can combat resistance to promote patient health. Furthermore, the event provided an opportunity to raise awareness about the critical role of pharmacists within the healthcare system.
