Welcome letter
by Prague ESCP 2022 President and preparatory Committees
Dear colleagues, ageing of the world population is an issue of broad interest due to expected changes in health and social systems and economics of many countries all over the world. Older adults usually suffer from multiple chronic health problems and utilize more medicines, therefore rational, effective, and safe medication use in this population is a key issue also for future healthcare economies. For this reason, we decided to organize upcoming 2022 European Symposium on Clinical Pharmacy on the topic “Polypharmacy and ageing – opportunities for highly individualized, interprofessional, patient-centered care” and this event will be held from October 19 to 21, 2022 in Prague, Czech Republic in the Congress Venue and Hotel Olšanka.
