Paediatrics: The ABC's - Tickets available for a limited time only.

Curious about paediatric Ph*rm*cy? Ever wondered how pharmacists make a difference in the lives of our youngest patients?

Our conference theme this year, “Paediatrics: The ABCs – Exploring the Foundation of Paediatric Ph*rm*cy,” takes you through the essentials of paediatric care, from life-saving formulations and clinical decision-making to the realities of working with complex patients.

Hear from experienced paediatric pharmacists sharing what patient-centred care looks like in practice, alongside other key aspects of paediatric Ph*rm*cy such as multidisciplinary collaboration, formulation challenges, and safe prescribing. You’ll also take part in an interactive calculations workshop and join a panel exploring career journeys, specialisation, and the challenges of working in this rewarding field.
