Welcome
About the Workshop
A practice-oriented platform for advancing evidence-based clinical pharmacy and patient-centred pharmaceutical care.
The National Workshop on Contemporary Pharmaceutical Care is designed for pharmacy professionals, faculty members, researchers, Pharm.D/B.Pharm/M.Pharm students, and healthcare professionals to strengthen their competencies in evidence-based clinical practice and patient-centred pharmaceutical care.
As pharmacotherapy becomes more complex, pharmacists play an increasingly important role in medication safety and therapeutic outcomes. The workshop focuses on translating clinical evidence, pharmacotherapeutic principles, and patient-specific information into rational and individualized drug therapy decisions.
Sessions will address medication review, drug-related problems, evidence-based treatment selection, dose optimization, drug–drug interactions, therapeutic drug monitoring, antimicrobial stewardship, pharmacovigilance, medication adherence, and clinical decision-making.
