Virginia Orrillo, a Pharmacy student, has presented this year an innovative TFG focused on people with disabilities.

Throughout the history of the School of Pharmacy and Nutrition hundreds of Final Projects Degree (TFG,s) have been carried out and corrected. However, this year a student of 5th year of Pharmacy has made hers with a different touch from other editions. Virginia Orrillo, the student who has developed this work, decided that her TFG was going to focus on a compilation of all the barriers that this group suffers on a daily basis.

The idea of doing a TFG focused on this topic, arose through her own experience with this population group . "Since the first year of high school program, I have been a volunteer in the leisure activities carried out at ASPACE. Thanks to that, I am a sensitive person who usually analyzes if the different situations of the day to day, are conditioned so that any person can perform them". In addition, during the degree program, Virginia took the subject of Pharmaceutical Care, taught by Professor Guadalupe Beitia, tutor of this very special TFG.

During the course of the work, Virginia noticed a revealing fact. Her dissertation had a total of 11 international articles, a rather low issue if we take into account that the estimated number of people with disabilities at the international level is 15%. And, even more revealing, if we see that none of these programs of study had been carried out in Spain. The lack of research is evident in this specific field. However, "I was very pleased to see that one of the programs of study highlighted as something very positive, the training in pharmaceutical care for people with disabilities from the university stage". Therefore, Virginia emphasizes that "I am proud to have studied at the UNAV, since it has given me the opportunity to study the subject in pharmaceutical care, a subject that is not taught in all universities and on top of that, our School also trains its students in this important and unknown topic ".

Once he submitted the work, his feeling was one of deep satisfaction for all the effort invested in such an exciting project . However, there was still one more small test , she had to make a poster to present her TFG in front of the panel of professors who would evaluate it. To do so, she had to adapt it so that anyone, regardless of their disability, could read it. "The star of my poster came when the Iddeas Foundation offered me the possibility of creating a QR code that redirects to a video where the poster is voiced, subtitled and signed".
