Pharmacy manufacturing units in NHS hospitals and trusts have the same responsibility for quality and patient safety as a global drug manufacturer but with fewer people and resources. Cherwell Laboratories have confirmed their ongoing support to helping NHS QA professionals keep up-to-date by attending the NHS Pharmaceutical Quality Assurance Service Annual Symposium. Experts from the company will be available to offer advice during the event at the Chesford Grange Hotel, Kenilworth on 16^th – 17^th September 2014. A selection of Cherwell’s comprehensive product range will also be on display.

Organised by the NHS Pharmaceutical Quality Assurance Committee, the annual event brings together key pharmaceutical staff from across the UK. The 2014 programme offers a variety of presentations and workshops to educate and update delegates on current issues within the pharmacy industry, with a focus on “Optimising Patient Care Safely”.
