Sessions/Tracks
WPCP 2017 aims to provide a forum for international researchers from various areas of Pharmacy, Pharmaceutical sciences, Clinical Pharmacy by providing a platform for critical analysis of new data, and to share latest cutting-edge research findings and results about all aspects of Pharmacy meeting.
Track 1: Clinical Pharmacy
Clinical Pharmacy is the field of pharmacy practice in which Pharmacists provides better patient care that improves medication therapy and will improve health and disease prevention. The overall goal line of clinical pharmacy is to uphold the correct and appropriate use of prescription and non-prescription medicinal products and devices, and to minimize side effects and adverse effects. Clinical Pharmacists depend on their professional relationships with patients to tailor their advice to best meet individual patient needs and desires.

Track 15: Clinical Drug Development and Therapeutics
Drug development is that the method of conveyance a brand new pharmaceutical drug to the market once a lead compound has been known through the method of drug discovery. It embodies pre-clinical analysis (microorganisms/animals) and clinical trials (on humans) and will include the step of getting regulative approval to promote the drug. Rational Therapeutic supported the premise that lack of knowledge or illogical thought patterns square measure basic causes of a patient's difficulties; it's assumed that the patient may be assisted in overcoming his or her issues by an on the spot, prescriptive, advice-giving approach by the healer. Evidence-based follow is applying the most effective on the market analysis results (evidence) once creating choices concerning health care.

Market Analysis
Pharmacists represent the 3rd largest health professional group in the U.S. Although some pharmacists work in non-patient care settings (e.g., teaching, research, and administration), most work in a variety of patient care settings.
The global pharmacy market reached nearly $3.0 billion in 2012. This market is expected to grow to nearly $3.2 billion in 2013 and $4.9 billion in 2018 with a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 8.8% over the five-year period, 2013 to 2018. Clinical pharmacy has a rich history of advancing practice through innovation. These innovations helped to mold clinical pharmacy into a patient-centred discipline recognized for its contributions to improving medication therapy outcomes. The next few years will see spending on drugs in established markets in North America, Europe and Japan grow by just 1-4% annually.
The United States is the world’s largest market for pharmaceuticals and the world leader in biopharmaceutical research. According to the Pharmaceutical Research and Manufacturers Association (Pharma), U.S. firms conduct the majority of the world’s research and development in pharmaceuticals and hold the intellectual property rights on most new medicines. U.S. government support of biomedical research, along with its unparalleled scientific and research base and innovative biotechnology sector, make the U.S. market the preferred home for growth in the pharmaceutical industry. Atlanta is considered as a world city and with a gross domestic product of $270 billion. Atlanta's economy ranks 15th among world cities and sixth in the nation. More than 30 colleges and universities situated in the city, Atlanta is known as a centre for higher education.
In 2016, there were 273,320 working pharmacists and an estimated 343,550 pharmacy technicians in the U.S. workforce. This corresponds to a national average of 87 pharmacists and 108 pharmacy technicians per 100,000 populations. According to the Bureau of Labor Statistics, the total number of pharmacists in the U.S. is expected to increase by 69,700 (25%) between 2010 and 2020 and by 95,680 (35%) by 2030. In 2015, 22,960 pharmacists and 28,670 pharmacy technicians and aides served approximately 38 million Californians. This ratio of 63 pharmacists and 79 pharmacy technicians per 100,000 populations indicates that California still lags the nation despite the growing supply of pharmacy professionals throughout the state. The number of graduates has almost doubled since 2002, to approximately 13,000 today. Furthermore, an additional 17 pharmacy schools have been established over the past 4 years, meaning they have not yet had a graduating class
Retail pharmacists make up 63% of all pharmacists in the U.S. and work at a variety of locations, ranging from dedicated franchises such as CVS Caremark and Walgreens to mass merchandisers such as Wal-Mart and Kroger to smaller community pharmacies. Hospital Pharmacists sometimes referred to as health system pharmacists are the second-most-prevalent pharmacist segment, comprising 26% of all pharmacists in the nation.
They play an increasingly important role in an industry that will soon be shifting more focus to specialty therapeutics. Specialty drugs are defined as treatments that cost more than $600 per month (as defined by CMS, Medicare Part D) and that have a certain level of associated complexity (e.g., special handling, rare diseases, close monitoring required, office-administered injection/infusion

Importance & Scope:
Pharmacists are often the first port of call for people to get advice on health in general, as well as specific clinical conditions. Pharmacists have long been providing health services in every region of Australia, and while they remain mostly outside the glare of the limelight, the profession remains one of the most respected in the community. With the development of specific and potent synthetic drugs, the emphasis of the pharmacist’s responsibility has moved substantially towards the utilization of scientific knowledge in the proper use of modern medicines and the protection of the public against dangers that are inherent in their use. Pharmacists are employed in regulatory control and drug management, community pharmacy, hospital pharmacy, the pharmaceutical industry, academic activities, training of other health workers, and research. In all these fields, their aim is to ensure optimum drug therapy, both by contributing to the preparation, supply and control of medicines and associated products, and by providing information and advice to those who prescribe or use pharmaceutical products.
The market environment in which Pharmaceutical and Life Sciences companies operate is increasingly challenging, being driven by a more and more demanding healthcare agenda leading to a new marketing and sales system The global need for innovative, cost effective medicines continues to rise whilst regulators, payers, health care providers and patients are demanding greater value for money, proven effectiveness of products, more transparency and access to information.
