The Philippine Society of Hospital Pharmacists

61st Anniversary Celebration and National Convention

January 23, 2023

Dear Colleagues,

Warm greetings from the Philippine Society of Hospital Pharmacists!

With great pleasure, we invite you to the 61st Anniversary Celebration and National Convention on March 13-15,
2023, with the theme, “PSHP Upholding the Culture of Excellence: Aim HIGH for Better Health Systems” at The
Manila Hotel Tent City, Ermita, Manila. This hybrid convention shall focus on four plenary topics: Harmonized
Directions, Innovative Solutions, Gearing Up for Safety, and Heartful Service of our hospital pharmacists. We
intend to gain insights on how to Upscale, Upgrade, Upskill, and Upthrust the practice of hospital pharmacy in the
country. The event is open to 500 attendees onsite and 1000 attendees online.

The PSHP continues its commitment to equipping and strengthening hospital pharmacists through clinical
excellence, competency enhancement, specialization, and values. We have invited foreign and local speakers to
share their expertise and insights. There are optional pre-convention lectures on Clinical Pharmacy, AMS,
Compounding Pharmacy, and Nutrition Support for onsite attendees.

We also have a “Broadway Musical” themed fellowship and thanksgiving dinner on March 13. We encourage
everyone to wear his or her favorite Broadway-inspired outfit during the event. This activity will allow us to
unwind, recharge, and meet new friends for networking and sharing best practices as we celebrate God’s
goodness and faithfulness in keeping our PSHP mission.

We are inviting you to take this opportunity to participate in this convention, which promises to be another
meaningful and memorable learning experience for all of us.

Sincerely yours,

Mary Jeane S. Robles, RPh
