Dear Colleagues,

The first UK conference is being held for pharmacists to share learning and development through the COVID experience and will take place on

Thursday 24th September 2020

This is a digital event with contributions from community pharmacists in Northern Ireland, including a presentation from CPNI.

The conference will review the findings of the report prepared by MOIC relating particularly to the COVID-19 response of pharmacy in Northern Ireland, but of much wider applicability. The MOIC report is the first national summary of response and learning from the COVID-19 pandemic and we expect it to contain useful lessons for all health economies.
