2018 NCAP Annual Convention

“Positioning for Influence: From Patient Stories to Pharmacy Vision”

Two Days of Empowering Sessions

If Pharmacy is a part of who you are, then the 2018 NCAP Convention is a “Must Be There Event” for you! Regardless of where you work, your practice setting, or whether you are a pharmacist, technician, student pharmacist, or other pharmacy advocate, there is something important going on for you at Convention this year. Our theme, “Positioning for Influence: From Patient Stories to Pharmacy Vision,” is sure to resonate, motivate and empower those who attend any of the day-long workshops, 12+ continuing education sessions, or numerous interactive round tables and scientific posters. From the Keynote session to the Networking Reception with Exhibitors, the patient stories shared and the information gained are destined to influence.

Also, for the first time, NCAP will be devoting an entire day of Convention to important issues impacting our profession. All pharmacists, technicians and student pharmacists are encouraged to lend their voice to this unique event designed to advance pharmacy and better position our profession for influencing change. Important, yet controversial issues and practices, are shaping our profession. Change is inevitable-- for better or worse--and becoming more proactive as NC pharmacy professionals can be the difference in setting the direction and controlling the impact.
