The Autumn Symposium in Krakow will provide a forum for clinical pharmacists, clinical pharmacy technicians, academics, researchers, students etc. to explore and share, and learn from, their innovations. The programme includes many keynote presentations from internationally renowned speakers, interactive workshops, oral and poster research presentations, networking opportunities, and much more.

The programme has been designed to be suitable for participants at all levels of clinical pharmacy expertise. There will be a focus on implementing, scaling and spreading and achieving the sustainability of innovations in clinical practice, all supported by new models of education and lifelong learning. This will be consistent with evidence generated both through robust, rigorous research and service evaluation relevant to all key stakeholders. Examples will cover the complete spectrum of health care settings in which clinical pharmacy is practiced with a key focus on patient centred approaches tailored to different patient populations, with models of care encompassing autonomous patient assessment and independent prescribing. The use of change management techniques, together with associated drivers and enablers, as well as those barriers which had to be overcome and lessons learnt will be highlighted. This will thus facilitate others to mirror and translate such best practice and integrate within routine care.
