This CleanMed Europe will be unique because it will be held in collaboration with the UNDP and other UN organisations who procure healthcare goods for developing countries. Participants will have the opportunity to discuss how healthcare can advance the Sustainable Development Goals that were agreed in September 2015 with UN staff, and attend special plenary sessions which will cover leadership and visions for a low carbon society.

The Science Communication School is the result of the collaboration between some researchers willing to fill the gaps they have found during they careers.
Over the past decades communication and outreach has become a fundamental concern of state-of-the-art research communities. The relationship between science and society has begun to change radically and communication has become a necessity.
Important decisions involving scientists’ research are no longer made by the scientific community but by politicians, private companies and by the media.
Moreover the decisions often involve the general public whose opinion influences the politicians and the media behavior.
For these and other reasons it is important to improve the dissemination of research and to convey the value of a scientific way of thinking even to those who have nothing to do with science.
Furthermore it is important to improve how scientists share results with the scientific community, in order to enhance the quality of the research and to facilitate collaborations: it is necessary to learn how to make posters effective, how to communicate aims and methodologies in scientific papers and proposals, how to get projects funded.
Traditional scientific training, typically does not prepare scientists and engineers to be effective communicators outside of academia.
Attending the school students will learn how to effectively convey important research results to a public of both experts and laypeople.
Students will learn how to write an abstract, how to structure effectively a poster about their research, how to write a paper.
Also students will receive coaching from experienced researchers and Euraxess experts on proposal and report drafting, and on how to improve communication to policymakers.
Being involved in science communication activities will allow the students to gain communication technical skills that will be useful in their wider lives and will remind the students that science is a heritage that needs to be shared as a part of our culture.

The 6th annual Paediatric Pharmaceutical Care International Masterclass, developed by Guy’s and St Thomas’ NHS Foundation Trust (London UK) provides an update on the latest developments in paediatric pharmacy and aims to discuss best practice methods in the safe use of medicines in children.

Developed by the expert pharmaceutical team at Evelina London Children’s Hospital, part of Guy’s and St Thomas’ NHS, the masterclass combines lectures with a strong practical element including:
• patient interaction and bedside case reviews
• role play and group work based on real life hospital situations
• case studies and practical demonstrations

The highlight of the course offers delegates a unique opportunity to take part in patient case reviews at the hospital bedside on paediatric wards in Evelina London, providing valuable insight into the role of paediatric pharmacists within the hospital setting.

Course topics include:
• Practical pharmacology
• Safe purchasing (unlicensed versus licensed)
• Paediatric formulations
• Medication errors and prescription monitoring
• The role of the pharmacy technician in clinical areas
• Management of the chronic child
• Management of the critically ill child

The masterclass is aimed at international qualified and practising pharmacists with an interest in paediatric pharmaceutical care and UK pharmacists are also welcome to attend.

The masterclass is part of a Kings Health Partners initiative and is run in collaboration with the International Alliance for Better Medicines for Children and Global Research in Paediatrics.

Due to the practical format of the course, places on the masterclass are limited. If delegates require accommodation, the hospital has a limited number of rooms at competitive rates.

The XV International Symposium will take place at the Sheraton Santiago Hotel in Santiago, Chile from April 17-20, 2016.

The theme of ISOPP 2016 is Oncology Pharmacy Practice: a Global Perspective. Oncology practice is changing day by day, and the role of oncology pharmacists continues to grow and evolve.

This makes ISOPP’s role as a leading voice for pharmacists who care for patients with cancer ever more important. In conjunction with its 20th anniversary in 2016, ISOPP will once again engage global leaders in oncology pharmacy to find practical solutions that improve patient care. The 2016 Symposium will provide oncology pharmacy professionals with essential updates to enhance their work and examples of best practice from around the world.

The Symposium will feature an educational, career-enhancing program and address leading edge topics in Oncology Pharmacy. There will also be lots of opportunities to network and connect with old friends and new colleagues.
