Future Trends in Pharmaceutical Medicine
How will pharmaceutical medicine develop over the next 10 years? Join us to find out and shape this future!
Themes
Our world is constantly innovating and evolving, and right now more than ever.
In the 2020 FPM Annual Symposium we examined our role in the global avalanche of innovative and collaborative science and medicine, our role in delivering medicines to those who need them, and our duty to keep patients and the public safe.
The main themes running through this two-day event were:
- Global health and access to medicines,
- Rare diseases and advanced therapies, and
- Health tech, medical devices and AI.
We also discussed how the specialty and the industry has reacted to the COVID-19 pandemic and what lessons can be learnt.
