The Symposium is a biennial event hosted by the National Prescribing Service (NPS), an independent, not-for-profit organisation funded by the Australian Government Department of Health and Ageing.
NPS runs programs to help consumers and healthcare providers make the best decisions about medicines, to achieve better health and economic outcomes. The National Medicines Symposium is a key part of its education program for health professionals and policy makers.
The 2010 National Medicines Symposium brings together everyone involved with medicines use, including primary healthcare providers, specialists, policy makers, academics, medical writers, consumers and international experts. It provides the opportunity to share expertise, experience and opinion, and benefit from discussion with industry peers.
The scholarship recipient will receive complimentary registration to the 2010 National Medicines Symposium and up to $5000 (AUD) to cover travel, accommodation and expenses. The Symposium is being held in Melbourne, Australia from 26-28 May 2010.
Applicants must meet all the general eligibility requirements and be working in a research, teaching, practice or policy role to support rational drug use in their country. The winner will provide an oral presentation of their work as part of a concurrent session at the Symposium.
