Notes

BPC 2009

The British Pharmaceutical Conference (BPC) is the annual conference of the Royal Pharmaceutical Society of Great Britain. BPC is changing in an exciting way, responding to the critical challenges facing pharmacy, the pharmaceutical sciences and the pharmaceutical industry.

From 2009 onwards, BPC will take place over four days instead of three, Sunday 6 September to Wednesday 9 September in Manchester. This is to allow the development of a dedicated pharmacy conference, practice@bpc, and a three day science conference, science@bpc. Each will have its own dedicated exhibition and careers fair. Go to www.bpc2009.org for more details.
