Education in pharmaceutical sector is very important both, for new knowledge and keeping up with trends and practices, and for keeping touch with colleagues and business associates. Throughout the year, numerous specialist congresses, conferences and symposiums are organized in medicine and pharmacy both, locally and regionally, and congresses with the worldwide participation. One of them is most certainly the 70th World Congress of Pharmacy with the topic: “From Molecule to Medicines to Maximising Patient Outcomes“, held this year from 28th August to 2nd September in Lisbon, Portugal.
One of the crucial prerequisites for the quality of pharmaceutical healthcare is to adopt new knowledge and to provide information on own achievements, so that the presence of professionals in this area at specialist meetings is necessary.
This year, Bon Voyage Agency, Novi Sad, provided support for the group taking part in the Congress. Every day after the lectures, the group could visit interesting and important historic sites in Lisbon and its surroundings.
During the stay in Lisbon, Bon Voyage Agency was in charge of organizing the arrival of the group members, their accommodation, arranging their leisure time and supporting them in any sense throughout the congress. The group had a chance during a few days of Congress to see many sights of Lisbon during their leisure time. Such sights include Belem Quarter: Belem Tower, Monument to the Discoveries, Jeronimos Monastery, Royal Coach Museum… All these sights feature the “golden age” of the Portuguese history and discoveries, dating back as far as 15th century.
There was also an opportunity to visit Cascais, a small fishing port and Estoril, a fashionable resort 25 km west of Lisbon, famous for a large number of golf courts and luxury hotels.
To relax after a hard day’s work, it is always a pleasure to visit the famous wine cellars and taste wines, as well as many national restaurants where you could enjoy the specific cuisine to the light Portuguese national music – fado.
Bon Voyage Agency tried to be flexible and meet the needs of the Congress participants before, during and after the event. According to the comments of the participants, they seem to have made it.
Agency is preparing for the World Congress of Pharmacy in India next year.
