General Information

Dear Colleagues,

Let me invite you to Barcelona, a city which has more than 2000 years of history and yet it is one of the most modern cities in the Old Continent. Barcelona is one of the most famous cities in the world, due to its beauty, architecture and (of course!) football. While the city may seem to be well known, it will continue to surprise you by its beauty and life.

EAHP is very pleased to invite you to the 24th EAHP Congress, which will take place in this gorgeous city from 27-29 March 2019. The Congress theme is "Personalised Hospital Pharmacy – meeting the needs of every patient". The title itself says a lot. The origins of the pharmacy were very much personalised and recently we have been rediscovering the need for tailored medication and approach to treatment for different patient groups and individuals. The scientific program of the Congress is also tailored to the needs of individual hospital pharmacists and their interest groups as the Congress offers the possibility to choose between many parallel sessions, keynote presentations, workshops and symposia. EAHP believes that the role of hospital pharmacists in personalised medication is the key to success. Therefore, we are preparing an advanced program that will serve as the source of knowledge and inspiration that are needed for our future role and engagement in personalised medication.

The EAHP Congress is also an opportunity to meet colleagues from Europe and all over the world, to share experience and ideas and to learn from each other. EAHP is fostering advancement in hospital pharmacy practice for the benefit of our patients. Sharing expertise and best practices is certainly one of the best ways to accelerate our success. The EAHP Congress, the largest hospital pharmacy Congresses in Europe, provides an optimal platform for this sharing and education but also for the pure joy of meeting fellow hospital pharmacists, colleagues and friends.

It is my great honour to invite you, on behalf of EAHP, to our Congress. I hope that the information in this announcement will help you to decide to attend. See you in Barcelona!

PharmDr. Petr Horák, EAHP President-Elect
