BPC 2009: Manchester

BPC 2009 logo

From 2009 onwards, BPC will take place over four days instead of three, from Sunday to Wednesday. This is to allow the development of a dedicated Pharmacy Conference and a three-day Science Conference.

BPC will open on the Sunday with the new two-day Pharmacy Conference - Practice@BPC. This conference will allow delegates to explore in greater depth the many complex issues facing the working pharmacist on the high street, in primary care organisations, NHS trusts and beyond. Practice@BPC will also provide a focus on helping pharmacists develop the much broader range of professional skills now required for a rewarding and profitable career in the future.

The new three-day Science Conference - Science@BPC - will open on the Monday. Science@BPC will provide more sessions than is currently the case, allowing delegates to gain a broader and deeper perspective on cutting edge developments in the disciplines and areas of research that collectively form the Pharmaceutical Sciences. In time we believe Science@BPC will become Europe’s answer to the world - renowned AAPS conference in the USA.

Each conference will also have its own dedicated exhibition and careers forum.
