Abu Dhabi, UAE (PRWEB) December 10, 2016
Abu Dhabi’s Medication Safety Conference and its organizer, Synovetics, announced a strategic partnership with ASHP (American Society of Health-System Pharmacists) to offer one of the largest annual pharmacy conferences in the Middle East and North Africa (MENA). The conference will take place in Abu Dhabi on October 27-29, 2017.
ASHP hosts the largest gathering of pharmacists in the world — the ASHP Midyear Clinical Meeting and Exposition, with over 22,000 pharmacists attending each year. ASHP also hosts several other large conferences, including the ASHP Summer Meetings and Exposition, National Pharmacy Preceptors Conference, Conference for Pharmacy Leaders, the interprofessional Medication Safety Collaborative, and several other events in the U.S. and around the world.
The event in October 2017 will bring to Abu Dhabi the world’s leading experts to provide healthcare practitioners in the MENA region and beyond with knowledge, networking, and opportunities to learn about the latest advances in medication use and safety.
“ASHP is extremely pleased to partner on the Medication Safety Conference and views it as an exciting opportunity to help improve medication safety and advance pharmacy practice throughout the MENA region,” said ASHP CEO Paul W. Abramowitz, Pharm.D., Sc.D.(Hon.), FASHP. “ASHP looks forward to bringing our 75 years of experience in providing the highest-quality pharmacy education to what we believe will become a must-attend conference for pharmacists throughout this region.”
Sana Bagersh, CEO of Synovetics, added, "We are very excited to be collaborating with ASHP on this new venture. Worldwide, ASHP is considered a premier pharmacy organization, and this partnership will enable us to expand the impact of the Medication Safety Conference by offering the best of what ASHP offers to a large region of the world.”
Supported by the Health Authority Abu Dhabi (HAAD), the conference will be chaired locally by highly renowned UAE pharmacy expert Malak Shadid, Chief Pharmacist and Medical Supplies Manager and Chair of the HAAD Drug Advisory Panel, and internationally by ASHP’s CEO Dr. Paul W. Abramowitz. Attendees of the conference will be eligible to receive continuing education credits from the Accreditation Council for Pharmacy Education (ACPE), American Nurses Credentialing Center (ANCC), the Accreditation Council for Continuing Medical Education (ACCME), and HAAD.
