Dear friends,

The Pharmaceutical Care Network Europe is an active association, with three working groups

• Medication Review
• Drug Related Problems
• Standards and Guidelines

In order to advance the work of the Working Groups, they must meet regularly. Therefore we have organised this Working Symposium in Malta in 2014, where non-members also were welcome.

In the wonderful setting of this old island, we presented and discussed the recent developments in all three fields, suggested to adapt classifications, declarations and definitions. We had a wonderful seaside hotel for this event.

After two days of working group meetings, we also had a General Assembly of the Association where we welcomed new applicants for membership. During tea and coffee breaks, participants could exchange information about their activities.

The slides of the lectures and reports of the meetings of the Working Groups will gradually appear. Please see under the tab 'Workshops' above, for the reports of the sessions.

2. The PCNE-DRP classification for experienced users

In this workshop the participants will complete a set of cases for validation purposed. The scoringand the system V 6.2will then be evaluated with the participants. (Facilitators: Markus Messerli and Samuel Alleman)
