Dear E-druggers,
Pharmacists attending the FIP Congress in Istanbul are invited to attend a symposium entitled 'Developing Medicines Information Services'. This meeting is being organized by members of the FIP Pharmacy Information group and will be an opportunity to meet with colleagues working in the field of independent information services. It will be held over 1.5 days, immediately before the Congress opening [3-4 September 2009].
The faculty for the symposium has just been updated and will soon appear on the Congress website:

The current program and faculty is available as a PDF document under "Access to Drug Information" (Work in Progress) on the working group page:

The cost of registration for the symposium is 200 euro and is only available in conjunction with Congress registration.
This will be an opportunity to learn about the challenges of providing medicines information globally. We look forward to seeing you in Istanbul.
