BPC £5 deal now open to third-year students

The special £5 fee for the British Pharmaceutical Conference student day is this year being offered to third-year MPharm students as well as to final-year students and preregistration trainees.

The student day will be on Wednesday 6 September, the third day of the conference, which takes place at Manchester International Convention Centre. Students will be able to visit the conference science and practice sessions during the morning and attend a special student session in the afternoon.

Student places are available on a first-come, first-served basis. Bookings can be made through the BPC website (www.bpc2006.org) or through Angela Lyons at conference organiser Health Links (tel 0121 248 3399; e-mail alyons@health-links.fsnet.co.uk).

The special fee has been made possible by sponsorship from Merck Sharp & Dohme and Pfizer.

The chairman of the Royal Pharmaceutical Society’s Conference Committee, Colin Ranshaw, said: “It is vital that students are actively encouraged to be part of BPC as they are the lifeblood of our profession.”

The president of the British Pharmaceutical Students Association, Gautam Paul, said: “The special student rate offers us a unique opportunity to be part of an exciting event.”
