20 April - 21 April 2012
As a clinical pharmacist you are probably finding yourself under more pressure to deliver than at any other time in the history of the NHS. Cuts to budgets and staff mean that you are more directly involved in patient treatments, formulary and dispensary decision-making and delivery of services.
Funding cuts also means that as a hospital pharmacist you are likely to be on your own when it comes to research, networking with colleagues, building bridges with community pharmacy, financing clinical study and gaining CPD. To help you meet these on-going challenges, the team behind the Pharmacy Show and other highly successful healthcare events has designed The Clinical Pharmacy Congress (CPC) to be held in London in April at London ExCeL.
The CPC comprises a world-class conference allowing clinical pharmacists in secondary and primary care the opportunity to create an education programme that facilitates their CPD requirements, a major exhibition, numerous specialist interest groups and a series of networking events. Programmed by CPPE, this two day event is normally priced at £499 + VAT, however RSPH have been given a limited number of FREE passes.
REGISTER at www.pharmacycongress.co.uk using Voucher Code: CPC-AS-06 to waive the £499 fee. You will need your GPhC number to hand.
