Management and Contributions of the 12th Annual Meeting of the Japanese Association of Home Care Pharmacies

Abstract

The Japanese Association of Home Care Pharmacies conducts an annual academic conference, a place of learning, where people from various medical professions gather and share information. From the perspective of the Executive Committee Chairman, in charge of the 12th Annual Meeting of the Japanese Association of Home Care Pharmacies, I considered the theme of the conference the most important aspect and decided to change “regional medical care in front of me” to “home pharmacy in the era of comprehensive community care”. Furthermore, to conduct a meaningful academic conference, good content and a certain number of participants are necessary; this academic conference was planned with the cooperation of the executive committee members. Next, we conducted a notification activity with an aim to provide awareness of selection and concentration. The process included various activities related to the direction of the 12th Academic Conference and the management of the Executive Committee. The content of this program could be used as a reference by those responsible for the management of academic conferences as the participants at the 12th Annual Meeting reaffirmed their motive of taking a step in their respective regions. I sincerely hope that this conference has provided an opportunity to further improve community medicine.
