THE one-year countdown for the Pride and Progress in Pharmacy Conference 2027 has begun, scheduled to take place from 04-06 Feb 2027 at Zinc Conference Centre in Melbourne.
Supported by the International Pharmaceutical Federation (FIP), the world-first event is dedicated to advancing inclusive pharmacy practice in LGBTQIA health.
The conference will be a forum for the sharing of information, resources, research, and innovative care strategies, with a focus on both LGBTQIA patients and pharmacists.
Attendees can expect discussions on evidence-based care, cultural safety, gender-affirming practice, HIV prevention, inclusive education, and workforce wellbeing.
Pharmacists, technicians, educators, researchers, students, and health leaders from all pharmacy and other healthcare settings are encouraged to attend.
"The conference is an opportunity to upskill regarding the needs and preferences of this often vulnerable and underserved patient group," said conference chair, Professor Lisa Nissen from the University of Queensland.
"It will connect LGBTQIA practitioners and allies, building and strengthening support networks in what is often an isolating practice environment."
The global call for abstracts will open shortly - practictioners can stay up-to-date here. JM
