Wednesday 10 November: Authors will be advised of their abstract status after the first review.
Thursday 19 November: Modifications due from abstract authors who were requested to make changes.

The 2021 EAHP Annual Congress will start on 24 March, 2021 inVienna.
Mr Petr Horak, EAHP President, commented: “At the time of writing, it seems the future will not be the same as we thought just a few weeks ago. When we planned the programme for the Congress, we could not know that many themes would become even more emerging than ever before. Now we see the possibilities of 3D printing for manufacturing medical devices and protective equipment, we see modern ways of compounding, possibly saving us from the impact of medicines shortages, and so on.
“Artificial intelligence, mHealth, 3D printing, personalised medicine — all of these will influence our work towards optimal outcomes for our patients and have the potential to change our workflows profoundly.”
He continued: “The Congress will also cover the ongoing challenges in our work, like tackling antimicrobial resistance, delivering seamless care, raising the quality of hospital pharmacy compounding, moving forward in clinical pharmacy, or increasing the role of hospital pharmacists in the multidisciplinary teams in hospital and on the interface with community or outpatient settings, just to name some of them.”
