• Overcoming challenges in maintaining temperature compliance globally. 
• The role of predictive analytics in avoiding cold chain failures. 

While much of the conversation around the cold chain focuses on upstream processes, the final mile—where products reach pharmacists and patients—presents unique challenges and opportunities. Each panelist will present three key slides showcasing real-world strategies for pharmacist-driven cold chain improvements, followed by a discussion on best practices, challenges, and innovative solutions. The session will conclude with a Q&A and interactive audience breakout discussions to translate insights into actionable strategies. 

• Understanding the practical challenges pharmacists face in maintaining temperature-sensitive products upon delivery and during dispensation 
• Exploring strategies to ensure cold chain integrity during the transition from delivery to storage at pharmacies, clinics, and other points of care 
• Patient Safety and Education: The role of pharmacists in ensuring patients receive temperature-sensitive therapies in optimal conditions, along with proper handling instructions
