Venue: Résidence Palace, Brussels, Belgium

The Geriatric Medicines Working Party of the European Forum for Good Clinical Practice has brought together experts in the fields of clinical research, ethics, philosophy, social, patient organisations and pharmaceutical regulatory bodies to explore the issues surrounding geriatric medicines. It is hoped this conference will be of interest, offer guidance to investigators and set the agenda for funding bodies, ethics committees, the pharmaceutical industry and regulators alike, in order to facilitate and promulgate high quality ethical clinical research and drug development for this increasingly important population across the whole of the European Union. Details of the workshop are available on the EFGCP website.
