Statement

EACPT strongly supports the concept of academic investigator-led clinical trials as a means of generating high quality independent information concerning the benefits and harms of medicines, which is in the interests of all European populations. For that reason, EACPT expresses its great concern at the progressive increase in the barriers to performing these kinds of studies, notably because of excessive and poorly coordinated regulatory structures (including local bodies). EACPT supports the concept of one single ethics approval process for clinical trials as envisaged in European Directive

The organisers of the 9th Congress of the EACPT are delighted to announce that Edinburgh has been chosen to host the 2009 event from Sunday 12th to Wednesday 15th July 2009.

Online registration is now available, for registration details please CLICK HERE.

EdinburghThe Congress will be held in Edinburgh, in the award-winning Edinburgh International Conference Centre (EICC), situated in the heart of the city. The purpose-built EICC offers state-of-the-art facilities and will provide the perfect venue for the Congress. Edinburgh is Scotland's capital city and is the perfect location for EACPT 2009. It is large enough to be able to provide all the facilities international delegates would expect but small enough and friendly enough to explore thoroughly on foot. It has a magnificent city centre setting with its ancient castle dominating Princes Street, the main shopping thoroughfare, set amongst medieval lanes and stylish, sweeping terraces. Edinburgh is steeped in history, and boasts a myriad of World Heritage Sites of historical interest. There is a wealth of accommodation ranging from 5 star luxury and exclusive boutique hotels to smaller traditional accommodation full of Scottish character.

An exciting and memorable social programme and accompanying guests programme will be arranged throughout the Congress.

EACPT Awards

Submitted by Webmaster on Sun, 03/15/2009 - 12:43

Although clinical pharmacology is an important discipline in its own right, many clinical pharmacologists have developed specialist interests in other disciplines including cardiology, gastroenterology, endocrinology and more recently genetics in molecular biology.  Indeed, clinical pharmacologists continue to publish in high impact factor peer-reviewed journals across a variety of these disciplines.  In recognition of this, EACPT proposes to award a prize for the best paper published in the field of clinical pharmacology over the past year.  I hope that members of EACPT will actively nominate prospective candidates eligible for this award. 

Furthermore, EACPT also proposes to initiate a Lifetime Achievement Award for a clinical pharmacologist who has made significant and consistent contributions to the field over their career.  Again, we welcome your nominations.
