The 28th European scientific GERPAC/ESHPT Conference
We look forward to seeing you at the 28th European scientific GERPAC/ESHPT Conference on October 1, 2, and 3 in Hyères (France).
The topics of hospital pharmacotechnics will be approached under various forms of presentations:
* conferences in various fields of hospital pharmacotechny with a special focus this year on toward standardisation applied to parenteral nutrition in neonatology, and on the contribution of Artificial Intelligence in Hospital Pharmacy, particularly its role in production;
* an “Interactive case studies” which will allow the participants to interact live about three difficult situations submitted by the attendees themselves.
* short oral communications and oral presentation sessions in front of the posters presenting original work carried out in hospital pharmacies and selected by the scientific committee,
* five interactive workshops in parallel sessions to address professional practice topics such as “Microbiological environmental monitoring ” and “Designing a centralized cytotoxic unit to lower RSI (repetitive strain injuries) ” ,
* break times and visits of the exhibition allowing meetings between congressmen, speakers and exhibitors.
As in 2024 a remote version will be accessible for delegates who cannot be present in Hyères.
Simultaneous French-English translation will be available for all plenary sessions.
We look forward to meeting you at our next meeting and/or remote sessions for fruitful discussions on hospital pharmaceutical technology.
