Presentation from each country

Like last time we ask you to coordinate in each country, so there is one person presenting per country, and let us know who that will be. We have allotted 10 minutes per country for the presentation and then a few minutes for questions and comments.

We would like you to consider the following points:

  • Has there been any recent changes – or are you planning any changes to your services?
  • How do you see drug information in your country adapting to increasing demands and more complex drug use in the years to come?
  • What will be the focus in the next 5-7 years for the DICs in your country?
  • Do you know what your users want?
