Pharmacy Education Conference 2027

Bringing together scientists, pharmacists and educators involved in pharmacy teaching.

The 14th Pharmacy Education Conference takes place on Monday 28 June 2027 in University Place, Manchester. We are looking forward to welcoming you.

This conference seeks to bring together scientists, pharmacists and educators involved in undergraduate and postgraduate pharmacy teaching. It is an opportunity to meet colleagues, share good practice and learn about developments in pharmacy education. 

The theme for the 2027 conference is Educating for Change: Innovation, Inclusion and Impact.

Once again we invited colleagues to submit abstracts for the conference, to one of two streams:

Completed work

Abstracts presenting scholarship based on completed pharmacy education research (including completed teaching evaluation) that include a study design, methods and results.

Teaching innovation and Work in progress

Abstracts describing innovation in pharmacy education that report novel teaching, learning or assessment approaches which have not yet been fully evaluated OR abstracts describing pharmacy education research WORK IN PROGRESS where preliminary findings can be presented at the conference in June.
