The European Association of Hospital Pharmacists (EAHP) is delighted to announce that registration is now open for its 19th Congress which takes as its focus the subject of innovation.
With
the context of the global economic crisis, and its consequences in the
form of shrinking national health budgets, the question must be asked as
to how successful service innovation can be achieved in such
circumstances.
Keynote speakers throughout the three day Congress,
to be held in Barcelona from Wednesday 26th March to Friday 28th March 2014,
will investigate models of innovation, as well as central factors and
elements of the innovation process. The Congress is designed to give
attendees new insights into how to find and implement innovative
solutions in a resource-constrained environment. A key message of the
Congress is that innovation can still progress in an era of
shortage: through imagination, skills and organisation.
Speaking about the Congress theme, Prof. Dr. Kees Neef, EAHP Director of Education, Science and Research said:
Speaking about the Congress theme, Prof. Dr. Kees Neef, EAHP Director of Education, Science and Research said:
“It
seems that every hospital pharmacist I speak to these days has the same
workplace challenge: how to maintain continuous improvement of service
to patients and other health professionals at a time when hospital
budgets grow tighter. A large part of that answer lies in innovation
which is why we wanted to focus our next scientific Congress explicitly
on this theme.
With
the programme of speakers and timely chosen workshops and seminars I
have no doubt that our Congress can provide any hospital pharmacist in
attendance with powerful new ideas, models and concepts to take back to
their home country to invigorate and empower their own service
improvement efforts.”
EAHP is also delighted to announce the continuation of the ground-breaking
Synergy Satellite Programme, accredited high level seminars supported by an educational grant from Bayer Pharma AG.
Jennie De Greef, EAHP Chief Operating Officer, said:

“The
support of our industry partners remains invaluable in terms of
enabling both the breadth and precision of EAHP’s educational
activities. The successful introduction of the Synergy Satellite
Programme at last year’s Congress was an important addition in this
regard and I’m delighted it will be going from strength to strength in
the year ahead.”
