E-DRUG: World Congress of Pharmacy and Pharmaceutical Sciences 2004
------------------------------------------------------------------
World Congress of Pharmacy and Pharmaceutical Sciences 2004
64th Congress of FIP
4-9 September 2004
New Orleans, USA
Main Theme: The patient and the pharmacist - The Heart of the New
Healthcare Team
Key to the nature of the therapeutic partnership between pharmacists and
patients are the design of future drugs, and the healthcare system in
which they are delivered. These two perspectives - fundamental in
determining the place of pharmacy in future healthcare will be addressed
in the professional programme. The contribution of new technology and
the impact of the increasingly knowledgeable patient on access and
choice of medicines will also be considered. Each of these issues
creates a challenge for determining the appropriate mix of knowledge,
skills and values of the future pharmacy workforce and will also be
discussed in a specific symposium.
Symposia:
* New drug therapies and the impact on the
patient/pharmacist partnership
* The patient and the pharmacist in different healthcare
systems
* Patients and pharmacists working with new technologies
* Responding to the HIV/AIDS crisis in resource-limited
settings: The role of the pharmacy and pharmacists in improving access
to and use of medicines
* The increasingly knowledgeable patient
* The changing role of the pharmacist in medicines
management
* Getting medicines right for children
ACPE accredited programmes will give participants the opportunity to
gain continuing education credits whilst attending some of the sessions
of the programme of the Board of Pharmaceutical Practice. The American
Society of Health-System Pharmacists is accredited by the Accreditation
Council for Pharmacy Education as a provider of continuing education.
The sessions identified in the congress programme with an ACPE logo and

The Section Programmes are designed to cover different areas of interest
in pharmacy practice including implementation of pharmacy services,

counterfeit medicines, global health policies, paediatric medications,
clinical trials, direct-to-consumer advertising and many more.
Come and join us in New Orleans. Its attitude and language are rooted in
French, spiced by the Spanish, influenced greatly buy African-Americans
and embellished by large waves of immigrant Irish, Germans and Italians.
Creole houses, plantation homes, grand residential mansions, cast iron
fences and breathtaking balconies will captivate your eyes and spark
your imagination. New Orleans' art galleries and museums, symphony
orchestra, opera, ballet and Broadway play performances and theatre and
literacy festivals make it one of the top all -year- around arts
destinations.
