Annual meetings

The 24th ESPACOMP conference was held online 10 – 20 November 2020

Under the presidency of Prof. Leah Zullig, the live virtual conference brought together an international and interdisciplinary audience of physicians, pharmacists, nurses and researchers with interest and expertise in medication adherence. The theme of the conference was “Patient and public engagement in medication adherence research”.

The conference hosted two keynote presentations by Prof. Marie Paule Schneider, winner of the John Urquhart Memorial Lecture, and by Dr. Alexandra Dima.

Two workshops were held on research topics: one on the analysis of adherence data, the other on hybrid designs in implementation science. Adherence-related education materials for health care practitioners were also available free of charge to all participants registered to the conference via the ESPACOMP Website.

An Interprofessional round table on adherence and COVID-19, supported by corporate members of ESPACOMP, discussed the impact of the pandemic on adherence-related issues.

The conference experience has not finished! Registered participants will have access to all the content of the conference and can consult the virtual posters and oral communications.

Registration is still open! You can still access the virtual ESPACOMP Conference 2020 content by registering here. New registrants will have access to all conference content.

We look forward to seeing you at the ESPACOMP 2021 conference!
