ESCP Spring Workshop 2026: 5 steps of medication safety: Medication without harm, where are we now?

We are proud to invite you to join the Spring Workshop of the European Society of Clinical Pharmacy in Innsbruck, Austria, from 19-20 February 2026.

With this Spring Workshop, themed “5 Steps of Medication Safety: Medication Without Harm, Where Are We Now?” we want to reflect our commitment to advancing the WHO’s global initiative on medication safety. Since the landmark 2019 WHO technical report, clinical pharmacists across Europe have been at the forefront of implementing innovative strategies to reduce medication-related harm.

As we are at the midpoint toward the WHO’s ambitious target of reducing preventable medication-related harm by 50% by 2030, this workshop provides a timely opportunity to assess our progress, share successes, and address ongoing challenges.

The ESCP Workshop in Innsbruck is an excellent opportunity to enjoy discussions with specialists and share experience with others from all around the globe.

On these pages you will find all relevant information about the event, the venue, transport and accommodation in Innsbruck.

We are looking forward to meeting you in Innsbruck, Austria in February 2026!
