Abstract submission
is now open for the next EACPT Congress, to be held in Geneva 28-31 August
2013. The congress includes symposia, keynote lectures and peer-reviewed oral
and poster communications
Symposium on how to become a
self-empowered patient
An empowered patient
is defined as an individual being an active member of his/her disease
management team and being able to make decisions consistent with his/her
values. Thus conceived, the concept of empowerment is a real paradigm shift for
patients and for health professionals. The relation between the physician and
the patient is moving from a “the powered physician to the self-powered patient”
and the fast growing access to Internet is accelerating the shift. This session
will discuss how this new form of “Doctor-patient relationship” may impact on
drug therapy and compliance as well as on clinical research.
2013 EACPT Congress
Over 900 participants are expected to attend including
health professionals, scientists, policy makers, biotechnology and
pharmaceutical professionals, and others with an interest
in basic and clinical pharmacology, pharmacotherapy,
drug discovery and development, regulatory affairs and related
areas.
