ExCel London.

Our? ?decision? ?to? ?reschedule? the Clinical Pharmacy Congress from May ??to? September ?was? ?made? ?out? ?of? ?an? ?abundance? ?of? ?caution as well as understanding of how much pressure the healthcare sector in the UK is dealing with, coupled with the fact that the ExCeL Centre has been converted into a mass vaccination centre.

May will not be the right time to gather in person at a national event however we firmly believe that come September, after the summer, it will be the perfect time to celebrate the hard work the pharmacy profession has contributed, in dealing with the pandemic.''
