SHAPING THE FUTURE: PHARMACY ON THE FRONT LINE IN 2010
The BCPhA Annual Conference recently took place in Kelowna, and featured exciting speakers, professional learning opportunities, awards and entertainment.
More than 240 people attended the event and the highlight of the program was the launch of Medication Management - a pilot project for pharmacists to provide patient consultation services which help to identify, take responsibility for and resolve drug-related needs. Speakers from the health care industry, BCPhA, the College of Pharmacists of BC, the Provincial Government and UBC mapped out the future of pharmacy in speeches, presentations and discussion forums.
