At the FIP congress
During the World Congress of Pharmacy and Pharmaceutical Sciences, we organise a week-long programme, aligned with the overall congress topic and tailored for hospital pharmacists, including practitioners, researchers and leaders.
The FIP congress is also an important showcase for hospital pharmacists and we invite you to present your work, either as a short oral communication or a poster.
Our section’s annual steering committee meeting is also held during the congress. Participating in the congress gives you opportunities to benchmark, learn from colleagues from all over the world and make new friends. In addition to continuing education, there’s a lot of fun to be had at the HPS dinner, showcase and welcome reception.
HPS Poster Awards
We make poster awards at the FIP congress. The overall purpose of the HPS Poster Award is to encourage hospital pharmacy research and development, and the sharing of experiences and results with other pharmacists through quality poster presentations. We are strongly committed to pharmacy practice research and development. Poster exhibitions and short oral communications based on received abstracts is a long HPS tradition.
Newsletters
To keep our members updated with the latest pharmacy practice discussions, research and HPS activities, we send out electronic newsletters every two months. We also welcome contributions to the HPS newsletter. Email: asst.secretary@fip-hps.org
