8th PCNE Working Conference 2013, Berlin, Germany

Collaborative pharmaceutical care in research and practice

6-8 February 2013


Dear friends,Kurt Hersberger

The  provision of all healthcare is becoming an interdisciplinary activity, and it is increasingly important that the different parties in care connect to each other for the benefit of the patient.  This is also valid for pharmaceutical care. All different elements of the care around medicines should be coordinated between the different professionals such as pharmacists, doctors, nurses and of course the patient. In practice this is not yet happening, and it affects the quality of the care.
We were therefore glad to see more then 90 participants at the 8th PCNE Working Conference in Berlin, who wanted to contribute to the research and implementation of collaborative pharmaceutical care.
