Professor Michael Scott MBE and Anita Hogg recently attended the 30th EAHP Congress in Barcelona, where they delivered two MOIC workshops on “Exploring Clinical Pharmacy Services in Hospitals: Innovations and Challenges.” Both sessions drew strong interest from colleagues across Europe.

It was also a great opportunity to reconnect with partners involved in our international work. Kamila Urbańczyk from Poland presented her project, “Scaling up a clinical pharmacist’s service to improve medication adherence in Poland: from Pilot to National Strategy.” This builds directly on the IMM work MOIC has been supporting in Poland and is a clear sign of how the model continues to grow and spread internationally. Across the three days, the team met with a wide range of European colleagues, including Dr Anna Oleárová (President, ESCP) and Dr Silvia Ravera (Scientific Programme Manager, EDQM).

The programme also featured thought-provoking sessions from Professor Mahendra G Patel OBE on inclusive research and health inequalities,and from Professor Jessica Mesman on exnovation.

MOIC was proud to share its work on this international stage and to see the positive impact of the IMM model recognised across Europe. The congress offered a valuable chance to learn, connect and continue building momentum for medicines optimisation.
