E-DRUG: 10+11 Jan 2017: UU-WHO winter meeting at Utrecht University, NL
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Dear E-Druggers,
The WHO Collaborating Centre for Pharmaceutical Policy and Regulation at Utrecht University, the Netherlands in collaboration with the Department of Essential Medicines and Health Products, WHO will organise a Winter Meeting on 10 + 11 January 2017 for researchers in the field of pharmaceutical policy analysis and regulatory science. As in previous years, we have chosen to combine a central theme and key note lectures on the first day with the opportunity for (young) researchers to discuss their work with peers on the second day of the meeting.
You are cordially invited to attend this meeting!
Contents of the meeting
The first day of the meeting will focus on “Reliance and regulatory science”. More and more we are looking for possibilities of work-sharing between different authorities and other stakeholders within the pharmaceutical policy and regulation sector. Interesting initiatives have been undertaken by WHO, national and regional regulatory agencies, e.g. in Sub-Saharan countries or the EU, and by reimbursement and payers (e.g. EUnetHTA). Several invited speakers will present their views on benefits and risks, opportunities and challenges during plenary lectures and there will be ample room for discussions and sharing of experiences.
On the second day of the meeting, submitted abstracts will be presented and discussed in the morning and afternoon (oral and poster presentations). Abstracts are not limited to the central theme of the first day; all research in the field of pharmaceutical policy analysis is eligible for submission. The focus of the sessions will be on methods used or proposed. At the end of this day one of the Centre’s PhD students, Daniel Ankrah, will defend his thesis entitled “Pharmaceutical policies and access to medicines - a hospital-pharmacy perspective from Ghana”. All participants in the meeting are invited to attend this public event.
Practical information
Participation in this meeting is free, but participants have to bear their own expenses for travel and accommodation. If you are interested to join, we can send you more practical information.
