The agenda for the final day of BPC focuses on science and practice sessions for students with symposia featuring key speakers from across all sectors of the profession. BPC also includes an exhibition and the BPC PJ-Careers Forum where students will be able to meet with leading companies from all areas of the pharmaceutical industry and UK pharmacy.

Making the conference more accessible than ever, BPC 2008 will open its doors for the first time on a Sunday, with a special student rate of £25 (+VAT).
