Practical information for LeuvenHow to get there?
Accomodation?We have not assigned an official conference hotel, but the Park Inn would be a good choice near the station.

If you want something different, in Leuven, you can choose from 18 other hotels (see http://www.leuven.be/en/tourism/staying-over/hotels/) and a number of bed&breakfast addresses (http://www.leuven.be/en/tourism/staying-over/bed-and-breakfast/). Of course you can also use more general sites like http://www.booking.com. How to reach the conference venue?All meetings will be organized at the University Hospital, Campus Gasthuisberg.

22 October 2011 PCNE General Assembly
The last General Assembly of PCNE was held at the Trinity College in Dublin, on the 22nd of October 2011, During this assembly, we welcomed one new member, the Farmaceutska Komora (Pharmacist chamber) of Bosnia & Herzegowina, represented by Emina Obarcanin. Furthermore it was decided that another round of the European BPCS study would be held, coordinated by Prof.McElnay from Belfast. It was also decided that another Symposium on Medication Review would be held in Leuven, Belgium, by the end of May 2012.
To enable an easier organisation of Working Conferences in the future, Mara Guerreiro and Filipa Alves da Costa stepped down as boardmembers. The term of Tommy Westerlund had officially come to an end. Newly elected boardmembers are Kurt Hersberger (Switzerland), Nina Griese (Germany), Veerle Foulon (Belgium) and Charlotte Rossing (Denmark).
PCNE members expressed their appreciation for the move of Filipa and Mara, who voluntairely stepped down to enable future changes in roles in the board.

Forum moved
Due to the large amounts of false registrations and spam messages by hackers, the PCNE forum has been moved and updated. New content about pharmaceutical care related conferences is continuously being added. Registration for the forum will now only be available to PCNE members, through an application to the secretariat.
