Hi E-Druggers,
I am happy to post the announcement for the annual Technical Briefing Seminar held in WHO. The seminar is always oversubscribed so please get your application in on time. Please note that this is different from the Technical Briefing Seminar:QA and Safety, Blood Products, Biologicals <msg00027.php> that will be held 22nd to 26th September 2008 that Shanthi Pal posted information about last month.
I hope that I will see some E-Druggers at the next TBS!

WHO/UNICEF Technical Briefing Seminar 2008
Geneva, 17th November to 21st November 2008
Please find below the announcement of a one-week Technical Briefing Seminar which will be organized jointly by the Department of Medicines Policy and Standards (PSM) and the Department of Technical Cooperation for Essential Drugs and Traditional Medicine (TCM) of WHO in Geneva later this year. Similar briefing seminars have been held annually since 1998. The web site for the announcement and links to previous seminars is at http://healthtech.who.int/tbs/.
The programme, as previously, will include updates on counterfeits, the UN pre-qualification project, updates of the 2008 Meeting of WHO Expert Committee on Specifications for Pharmaceutical Preparations and the 2007 Meeting of the WHO Expert Committee on the Selection and Use of Essential Medicines, rational use of medicines, and the implications of international trade agreements. A more specific agenda will be made available shortly.
This year's seminar will be facilitated by Dr Helene Moller and by Dr Richard Laing, WHO/PSM, with input from country programme officers and advisers.
Participation at the seminar is free of charge but participants will have to arrange for and finance their own travel, board and lodging.
