Moving from Statement to Implementation
                                                             


Launch of the Statement implementation website 

An important milestone has been reached! EAHP is launching during its 22nd Congress in Cannes (22-24 March) an updated website as part of the Statement Implementation project.

EAHP updated website has now an entire section dedicated to the European Statements of Hospital Pharmacy. This section provides an overview of why the Statements are so important to a variety of stakeholders, ranging from patients and policy makers through to other healthcare practitioners, as well as our many partners in industry and academia.

The website also provides a range of resources to help with the implementation of the Statements within individual hospitals or at the level of a region or nation. These resources will include an evidence base for each of the Statements plus general material to assist our member associations with implementation.
