Step into the future of healthcare and explore the limitless possibilities of 3D printing at our event in collaboration with the Academy of Pharmaceutical Sciences.
We invite pharmacy professionals, other clinicians, researchers, industry leaders and regulators to join us to explore the transformative potential of this cutting-edge technology, which is set to revolutionise the pharmaceutical landscape and deliver unparalleled patient care.
Through a curated line-up of expert speakers, including Keynote Speaker Professor Abdul Basit, and other thought leaders including Stephen Tomlin, this one-day event will:
- Showcase real-world examples of 3D printing in pharmaceuticals, from personalised medicine and on-demand drug manufacturing to innovative dosage forms that promise to reshape the industry.
- Discuss and examine technical limitations, and highlight current gaps in research, manufacturing scalability, and the implementation of 3D printing in routine pharmacy practice.
- Cover essential regulatory considerations and emerging guidelines for integrating this technology into clinical and industrial settings
- Celebrate innovative research in the field with the opportunity to showcase your research or explore that of your peers in our Poster Zone on-site throughout the day – find out more below.
From the event, we will develop a roadmap for future implementation, proposing strategies to accelerate 3D printing adoption while ensuring safety and compliance with MHRA regulations.
