General Information

Dear Colleagues,

Welcome to Vienna, a romantically imperial city in the heart of Europe and home to Mozart, Beethoven, Schubert, Johann Strauss, Sacher Torte and Lippanzer horses. This historic city combines the elegance and splendour of the past with modern architecture and design.

EAHP is pleased to invite you to the 21st Congress of the EAHP, 16-18th March 2016, with the theme of 'Hospital pharmacists taking the lead - partnerships and technologies'. The scientific program is well advanced and is relevant for you as a hospital pharmacist dealing with the challenge of rapid technological change in healthcare. The role of the hospital pharmacist is not only to use these new technologies in their own practice but also to influence decision makers, multidisciplinary team members and patients about the appropriate use of these technologies 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.

I am honoured in my first year 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 Vienna.

See you in Vienna!

Ms. Joan Peppard, EAHP President

City Information

Vienna

Vienna, the capital of Austria and former home of the Habsburg court, is located in the centre of Europe, surrounded by the natural beauty of the Wachau valley, moulded by the curving flow of the Danube, the majestic river which crosses the city. Its historic centre, inscribed in the UNESCO World Heritage List, is often compared to a real life museum, and stands proof of Vienna's great history.

A musical city by default, it is home to the Vienna Opera House, world famous for its concerts. The works of Mozart, Schubert, Bach, Beethoven, Strauss, or Haydn can also be enjoyed in Vienna's historic churches, or the Musikverein, which hosts the Vienna Philharmonic Orchestra, considered to be one of the finest of the world, and well-known for its annual new year concert.

Vienna's Ring Boulevard, one of the longest and most beautiful boulevards of its kind, goes around the city centre, and showcases monumental buildings such as the Austrian Parliament, the State Opera House, the Museum of Fine Arts, or the Vienna University. The Burgtheater, or the National Theatre, one of the most important German language theatres in the world, is also located on the Ring Boulevard and boasts a beautiful marble façade decorated with statues of famous writers and allegoric figures.

The Schönbrunn Palace, former summer home of princess Sissi and the Habsburg royalty, is a must see. Built to rival the Versailles, it is one of the most important Austrian landmarks. Besides the Palace, the baroque complex includes various gardens, a zoo, a café, dating back to 1775 and the biggest palm house on continental Europe.
