Academics to get reduced rates at BPC
 This year — for the first time — full-time academic staff attending the British
Pharmaceutical Conference will be eligible to pay the reduced delegate rate previously only available to members of the Royal Pharmaceutical Society.
Gill Hawksworth, chairman of the conference committee, said: “BPC
is the biggest UK pharmacy event and by introducing this reduced rate
for academics we hope to attract more delegates from this important area
to the conference. This is one of a number of initiatives that we are
introducing to make the BPC more accessible to a wider audience.”
Duncan Craig, BPC 2005 science chairman, said: “Academics play
a vital role at the conference and I am delighted that we have been able
to offer them this special rate. I look forward to welcoming many more
of my colleagues to the conference in September.”
Academics are classed as those employed in higher education establishments
in the UK.
BPC 2005 takes place from Monday 26 to Wednesday 28 September at Manchester
International Convention Centre. Bookings can be made online at www.bpc2005.org
