Dear Members and Friends of SwAPP
“Change is the only constant in life” – And, the environment
of pharmaceutical medicine is changing as well. Are you
ready to explore what the future holds for us?
Let’s meet for a symposia where we learn about new trends
and visions in the field where we all work in, whether this is
new techniques in medicine, new education degrees to
make us fit for the future job market and a new project that
puts the patient into the centre of our activities. In addition,
we will give our SWAPP association a new make-over:
curious to see how we interact and network in the future?
After a variety of talks in the first part of the symposia we will
continue with three parallel experts’ workshops on Clinical
Trials, Regulatory Affairs and Medical Devices.
All SwAPP members are invited to attend the Annual
General Assembly, held just before the ExEx meeting –
don’t miss it as we will present the first ideas of the New
SwAPP
If you are not a member yet, you are cordially invited to join
and benefit from the reduced registration fee by signing up
for membership at www.swapp.ch.
The SwAPP Board is looking forward to meeting you in
Bern.
