Dear Colleagues,

Welcome to Gothenburg, a beautiful city with an exciting cultural life and excellent restaurants with the old town area of narrow cobblestone streets, small stores with character and old and interesting buildings.

EAHP is pleased to invite you to the 23rd Congress of the EAHP 21st- 23rd March 2018 with the theme of "Hospital pharmacists – Show us what you can do!". The scientific program is well advanced and is relevant for you as a hospital pharmacist dealing with the challenges of economic restrictions and increased demands. This congress provides an opportunity to demonstrate what hospital pharmacists have achieved, to provide inspiration for future development and to energise us for the road ahead. This opportunity to showcase the benefits facilitated by hospital pharmacists will influence decision makers, multidisciplinary team members and patients to demand hospital pharmacists' full engagement in the medication process.

EAHP's annual congress is the largest congress for hospital pharmacy in Europe and is attended by pharmacists from all over the world. This Congress continues to provide you with an exceptional opportunity to meet, network and share expertise and best practice with colleagues while keeping up to date with the latest developments in hospital pharmacy. With all you have to see, learn and do during your visit I hope that we will have time to enjoy a fika together.

I am honoured as President of EAHP to invite you to this Congress. I hope that with the announcement of this major event you will plan your attendance at the EAHP congress in Gothenburg.

Ms. Joan Peppard, EAHP President
