As we celebrate this year’s APTUK professional conference, our PERSONAL DETAILS

exceptional programme promises to bring together exclusive
Full name ................................................................................
highly respected pharmacy leaders to give all the latest updates
from a changing healthcare landscape for Pharmacy. Position ...................................................................................

Since our conference last year, healthcare and pharmacy finds itself challenged
in an unprecedented way. Now, more than ever, Pharmacy Technicians need a
platform, as key members of the pharmacy team, to showcase how the profession,
is and can support the delivery of person centred care for better patient outcomes.
Our conference provides the perfect environment for self-motivated and committed
professionals to share knowledge and practice, to network with each other and
to connect together from all sectors of pharmacy.
As we bring together delegates, from all corners of the UK and beyond, to this
truly unique conference for Pharmacy Technicians, I strongly recommend to
them and their employers, that they attend to learn how others are changing
their practise to support medicines optimisation and patients in understanding
more about their medicines.
