Digital Pharmacy and Medicines Optimization

The European Connected Health Alliance, in collaboration with the Northern Ireland pharmacy network, presents a comprehensive workshop focused on the digitization of medicines management. As the burden on traditional primary care increases, this event explores how "Connected Pharmacy" can alleviate pressure through tele-pharmacy, automated dispensing, and patient-facing apps. This technical workshop is designed to provide practical skills for the modern pharmacist and health tech developer.

The sessions will cover the implementation of electronic prescribing systems across the UK and the integration of wearable technology in monitoring medication adherence. A significant portion of the day is dedicated to "The Future of Community Pharmacy," where international speakers from the ECHAlliance network will share best practices from Scandinavia and the US. Participants will engage in roundtable discussions to solve real-world logistical challenges in the medicine supply chain. This event is a unique opportunity to influence the digital roadmap for pharmacy services in Northern Ireland for the next decade.
