Foundation in Paediatric Pharmaceutical Care 8th International Masterclass 2019

Foundation in Paediatric Pharmaceutical Care 8th International Masterclass is organized by Guy's and St Thomas' NHS Foundation Trust (GSTT) and will be held from Oct 10 - 12, 2019 at St Thomas’ Hospital Pharmacy Department, London, England, United Kingdom.

Who should attend:
To attend this masterclass it is required that you are a qualified and practicing pharmacist.

The masterclass is ideal for pharmacists with an interest or understanding of paediatric pharmaceutical care. We will accept pharmacists from all specialities and backgrounds and, although the content is primarily designed for overseas pharmacists, UK pharmacists are also more than welcome to attend.

The masterclass is very practical with around a third of the sessions being hands on, so place numbers are limited and early booking is highly recommended to guarantee your place.

Description:
The eighth annual masterclass on paediatric pharmaceutical care is run by the Paediatric Pharmacy Team at Evelina London Children’s Hospital, which is part of Guy’s and St Thomas’ NHS Foundation Trust. The masterclass is part of a Kings Health Partners (KHP) initiative.

Overall masterclass aims and objectives:
The three day masterclass has been specially designed by the course directors to provide an update on the latest developments in paediatric pharmacy and aims to discuss best practice methods in the safe use of medicines in children. The programme has been created to ensure that delegates gain the most from their time visiting Guy’s and St Thomas’ NHS Foundation Trust.

After completing the course programme delegates will:
• Have a good knowledge of the best practice in dealing with common paediatric clinical problems; from general to more specialised care
• Have a strong understanding on age appropriate formulations for safer purchasing and administration of medicines to children
• Be aware of practical pharmacology aspects of medicines in children, and be able to apply this knowledge in practice
• Set out appropriate risk/governance strategies to make their paediatric pharmacy practice safer and more effective and look at ways to measure success
