Collaborative pharmaceutical care in research and practice
- 6-8th February, 2013
- Berlin, Germany
Dear friends,
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.
Prof. Dr. Kurt Hersberger,
PCNE Chairman
Basle, Switzerland
The slides of the lectures and reports of the workshops will gradually appear on these pages.

Workshop 2: How to develop and run collaborative research across disciplines
(Facilitators Maria Cordina, Malta and Tommy Westerlund, Sweden)
• Aim: To discuss and develop guidance on best practice in designing and conducting interdisciplinary research projects that evaluate interprofessional service delivery.
Workshop 3: Implementation strategies and their indicators. From research to practice
(Facilitators: Alison Roberts, Australia and Charlotte Rossing, Denmark)
• Aim: (1) To explore the various strategies used for implementing pharmaceutical care services, gaining an understanding of those that increase the chances of sustainable change and (2) To design indicators that can be applied in practice and used in research, to measure the successful implementation of pharmaceutical care services and collaborative practice.
Workshop 4: Quality standards for PhC research
(Facilitators Olivier Bugnon & Marie-Paul Schneider, Switzerland and Martin Henman, Ireland)
• Aim: To develop a system for assuring quality of research and the research group, involving different professionals
Workshop 5: Stimulating competences in interdisciplinary collaboration
(Facilitators: Veerle Foulon and Giannoula Tsakitzidis, Belgium, Maria Cordina, Malta)
• Aim: To develop a framework and teaching methodologies, and to prepare practitioners to contribute to interprofessional research and practice, so that different professionals will cooperate better in their future.
