Special £5 day rate for students at BPC 2004
A special day rate of £5+VAT will be available for a limited number of fourth-year MPharm students and preregistration trainees attending the British Pharmaceutical Conference and Exhibition on Wednesday 29 September.
On the morning of that day, students
will be able to attend conference scientific and practice sessions. In
the afternoon, a
special session for students will review career opportunities.
Wally Dove, chairman of the Royal Pharmaceutical Society’s Conference
Committee, said: “BPC is the UK’s biggest and best event
for pharmacists and pharmaceutical scientists. We hope that through introduction
of a £5 rate we can sow the seeds for the future generation of
BPC delegates.”
Professor Ruth Duncan, Science Chairman for the 2004 conference, said: “The
Academy of Pharmaceutical Sciences and pharmaceutical industry colleagues
have all been supportive of this idea and we
have written to all heads of schools and
the British Pharmaceutical Students Association, who we are confident
will welcome it too.”
The special student places will be allocated strictly on a first-come,
first-served basis, and early booking will be essential. Fliers and booking
forms have been distributed to all schools of pharmacy in the UK.
The 2004 British Pharmaceutical Conference is to be held at Manchester
International Convention Centre from Monday 27 September to Wednesday
29 September. The conference theme is “Medicines: from cell to
society”.
