From Netty Cracknell, President
Dear Eunji
This month has been a whirlwind of work, ISOPP, BOPA, friends and family. The ISOPP and CAPhO Symposium, April 3-7 2025 is really taking shape with registration set to open shortly. Look out for the early bird rates and book your place, flights and accommodation as soon as you can to get the cheapest deals. I had a sneak look at the agenda and the work gone into formulating the programme and speakers is demonstrated clearly by the fantastic line up planned.
This time of the year ISOPP also turns to nominations for the next leaders of our organization and awards of pharmacy professionals that have made a difference to patients or colleagues over and above the care we routinely carry out each day. Please take a moment to think if you wish to stand for nomination, or if you have a colleague you can propose for an award.
And finally, I invite you to attend the ISOPP Virtual Town Hall. More details can be seen in the newsletter but this is your chance to ask the leadership team queries, share your ideas for the future or hear what others have to say.
Have a safe and happy month!
Netty
