Pharmacy Practice Research Annual Meeting

Introduction

The FIP Pharmacy Practice Research Special Interest Group (PPR SIG) is hosting an international event — “Pharmacy Practice Research Annual Meeting for PhD Students, Postdoctoral Fellows and Supervisors” — on 29 August 2026 in Montreal, Canada.

The main scope of the PPR SIG is to increase pharmacy practice contributions to global health by providing greater access to the latest high-quality international pharmacy practice research. During this meeting, both early-career and experienced researchers will have the opportunity to collaborate on major pharmacy practice research (PPR) themes.

PhD students and their supervisors, researchers, academics, professional organisations, and practitioners involved in research are warmly invited to join this face-to-face meeting to present their work and to start building new global pharmacy networks.

Accepted abstracts will be published in the Pharmacy Education journal.

Selected authors will be invited to present their work either through poster or oral presentations and to interact with the audience during the event. The best presentations will receive an award. Certificates of attendance and presentation will be provided.
