It was chilly and rainy in Vancouver on November 2, but inside the downtown conference centre where hundreds of pharmacists were gathered for a day of learning.
Learning, inspiration, conversation and networking were the themes of the day at our recent conference. The waitlist is now open for Pharmacy U Toronto!
All too often pharmacists pick continuing education topics based on availability and not on their learning needs or the demographics of their patients. If a pharmacist has a practice that predominantly serves older patients, learning should focus on skills and education tailored to this patient group.
Pharmacy professionals are well placed to deliver routine immunizations to those in their communities. As more seasonal and routine vaccines become available, the discussion at Pharmacy U Vancouver will discuss the enablers and barriers to pharmacists playing an integral role in mobilizing vaccination in their pharmacy practice.
I have been a presenter at Pharmacy U since 2018, where I gave a presentation on travel medicine. I have always been impressed with the event attendance and, specifically, engagement from attendees to elevate their practice.
