Quality of Medicines at the Heart of Health Systems
About this event
The University of Oxford has a long-standing tradition of organising informal gatherings of researchers and experts working on the quality of medical products. This initiative was launched by Professor Paul Newton, who leads the IDDO Medicine Quality Research Group.
These informal meetings are intended to encourage knowledge exchange on medicine quality research, strengthen professional networks, and provide a space for both early-career and established experts to discuss their work.
For the first time, the Institute of Tropical Medicine will host this event, in close collaboration with the IDDO Oxford group. The gathering will be organised by the Unit of Pharmaceutical Public Health.
