This workshop will help pharmacologists (both basic and clinical) develop or refresh their skills in writing up research for publication in scientific journals. The course will focus on choosing the right journal, paper structure and content, grammar and good writing style, paper submission and the editorial process. The workshop will be delivered in seminar and workshop format, with breakout sessions for small group discussion and editing exercise.

This workshop will introduce attendees to some of the practical issues which arise from poisoning in its widest sense. A variety of topics will be covered, ranging from recent developments in biomarkers of injury for paracetamol poisoning, to the use of the laboratory to support the management of poisoned patients. Common clinical features and management challenges will be described, including the general management of the poisoned patient, the effects of recreational drugs of abuse, cardiovascular drugs and cyanide.

Location: Geneva, Switzerland
BPS will be sponsoring two sessions at the 11th EACPT conference.
Clinical pharmacology provides a wide array of services, from excellence in patient care, teaching and clinical research to high standard efficient contribution in drug development and professional services in regulatory bodies.
The Conference is a unique opportunity to meet top ranking specialists of various professional backgrounds involved in drug discovery, drug development, pharmacology and pharmacotherapy teaching, drug use, drug epidemiology, and drug safety.

BPS is supporting this symposium
YLSCardiovascular disease is currently the most common cause of death in the developed world. While many promising drug targets have been discovered, only a few molecules have been successfully translated into patients’ benefit. New translational approaches and effective communication and collaboration between researchers are necessary. The aim of the YLS2013 is to provide a unique opportunity to spread this message among the next generation of basic and clinical scientists in cardiovascular medicine.
The symposium will take place in the historic Charterhouse Square campus of Queen Mary University, located in the heart of London. With this one-day event we will bring together scientific and clinical experts as well as young scientists to emphasize translational aspects and recent advances in the field of cardiovascular disease.
If you are a young scientist, including post-docs, PhD students and undergraduates, with interest in cardiovascular medicine, you are invited to join us at this occasion to present your research and have the chance to win one of the prizes offered for poster and oral presentations. Furthermore, to help young scientists to come to this event, the registration will be free of charge and travel allowances will be offered.
In addition to an exciting scientific program, you will also get the opportunity to meet with fellow young scientists at our networking and social event, as well as enjoy the amazing city of London.
