Placing Patients First: A Global Perspective on How Clinical Pharmacy Makes Drugs Safer

Next April 24–28, join your colleagues in sunny Orlando, Florida, for the International Congress on Clinical Pharmacy, cosponsored by the American College of Clinical Pharmacy and the European Society for Clinical Pharmacy (ESCP). Held every 5 years, the Congress brings together clinical pharmacists from around the world to exchange new knowledge and best practices and to discuss global health care issues.

The 2009 Congress agenda includes programming codeveloped by ACCP’s PRNs and ESCP’s special interest groups (SIGs). Experts from the United States to Scotland will present the latest information on managing a wide range of therapeutic/practice areas, including:

  • Establishing Transitional Processes of Care Across Inpatient and Outpatient Settings (Ambulatory Care PRN, Adult Medicine PRN, Primary Care SIG)
  • Senior Moments for Pharmacists: Appropriate Medication Prescribing in the Elderly (Geriatrics PRN, Cardiology PRN)
  • Evolving Systems and New Developments in Stroke Management (Central Nervous System PRN)
  • Infections and Critical Care: Debates on Daily Dilemmas and Decisions (Critical Care PRN, Infectious Diseases PRN)
  • International Point-of-Care Drug Information Resources (Drug Information PRN, Medicine Information SIG)
  • Improving Medication Safety Through Inter-Professional Education (Education and Training PRN)
  • Therapeutic Controversies in Critical Care and Nutrition Support (GI/Liver/Nutrition PRN, Nutrition Support SIG)
  • Geriatric Oncology: An Emerging Population, an Emerging Specialty (Hematology/Oncology PRN, Cancer Care SIG)
  • International Pharmacovigilance and the Role of Pharmacists (Pharmaceutical Industry PRN)

In addition to these and other Congress programs, meeting registrants may attend the ACCP Pharmacotherapy Preparatory Course, as well as the International Pediatric Pharmacy and Clinical Pharmacology Symposium, presented by the Pediatric Pharmacy Advocacy Group (PPAG).
