Current and future science. Enablers and barriers to innovation and collaboration across pharmaceutical science.

Come to the 2022 FIP congress in Seville, Spain, where pharmacy practitioners, pharmaceutical scientists and educators from around the world will discuss and help you prepare for these new technologies that will empower our profession.

Previous industrial revolutions liberated humans from reliance on animal power, made mass production possible and brought digital capabilities to billions. This latest industrial revolution is, however, fundamentally different. It is characterised by a range of technologies that are fusing the physical, digital and biological worlds, impacting on all disciplines, economies and industries, and even challenging ideas about what it means to be human.

Digitalisation is already allowing the keeping of structured patient records, facilitating electronic prescribing, dispensing and administration of medicines, automating the handling of medicines in the supply chain, and providing tools for monitoring the efficacy and safety of medicines in use. Further advances will enable pharmacists to interact with patients through the creation of a common platform for accessing data and information in new, more efficient way.

This year's live virtual conference will feature renowned speakers in the field of pharmacogenomics who will focus on the healthcare value of pharmacogenomics. While the importance of tailoring drugs using genomics to reduce adverse drug reactions and improve efficacy is well established, economic evaluation of pharmacogenomics is still emerging. Payers, organizations who have implemented or are considering implementation are requiring economic evaluations, return on investment and cost/benefit analyses. Most clinicians are not aware of these data and its strengths and limitations.

A special addition to the conference this year is a one-day clinical case workshop completely devoted to working through real-world pharmacogenomic cases. Registration is now open. See website for more details.

The World Drug Safety Congress Europe is set to bridge the gap between international regulatory bodies, industry professionals and academic representatives and will address how to drive pharmacovigilance operations forward.
