E-drug: 63rd Congress of FIP 2003
-------------------------------------------------------------------------
World Congress of Pharmacy and Pharmaceutical Sciences
FIP/PAC 2003, 4-9 September 2003, Sydney, Australia.
Main Theme: Developing a new contract between Pharmacy and
Society: Risk Management and Improving Outcomes.
The congress theme acknowledges that future health care
provision is expected to be patient-centered and quality driven. The
idea was derived from an influential report from the Committee on
the Quality of Health Care in America, which challenged the
contemporary culture of health care provision and, in particular,
focused on modernising the relationship between patients and
health professionals in order to improve outcomes. The core
contribution of pharmacy to its "new" contract would be: Risk
management and improving outcomes.
Pharmacists through their practice should be accountable for
achieving these goals at both population and individual patient
levels, and pharmaceutical services should be configured so that
consumers can obtain the maximum benefits from their medicines
at an affordable cost.
Scientific symposia:
* Oral drug delivery and absorption: Mechanisms and problem
solving strategies
* Input of genomics, proteomics and bioinformatics to drug
discovery
Professional symposia:
* A new health system for the 21st century: Crossing the quality
chasm
* How does pharmacy add value: Reducing risks, improving
outcomes
* What does patient-centered practice mean for pharmacy?
* Drug prescribers and pharmaceutical carers in integrated health
care
* Public Accountability of the Pharmacy Profession
The Section Programmes are designed to cover different areas of
interest in pharmacy practice including pharmacy education and
continuing professional development, global health policies,
biotechnology, antimicrobial resistance, gender analysis, herbal
therapy, pharmacy in humanitarian support and many more.
The FIP Congress will be held in conjunction with the Pharmacy
Australia Congress (PAC).
Come and join us in scenic Sydney and discover Australia's great
natural beauty and cultural heritage. It has long been regarded as a
traveler's paradise, but dig deeper and you will find a highly

development, scientific excellence and education. The social
