The National Community Pharmacists Association (NCPA) has opened registration for its 2024 annual conference, scheduled for Oct. 26-29 in Columbus, Ohio.
In a June 5 news announcement, the NCPA said the conference’s theme — GPS: Growth, Performance, Success — will focus on helping pharmacy teams to “navigate the obstacles and opportunities in today’s pharmacy landscape.”
“From reimbursement rates and the DIR [direct and indirect remuneration] hangover to the regulatory outlook to the anticompetitive practices of PBMs [pharmacy benefit managers], independent pharmacies have been dealing with many bumps in the road,” said NCPA President Lea Wolsoncroft, owner of Remedies Pharmacy in Alabama. “At the same time, there’s an ever broader range of services owners can put in place to meet patients where they are in their health journeys, and also provide pharmacies with a more reliable path to revenue.
“NCPA’s convention is where independent pharmacy teams go each year to find inspiration on ways to get ahead, share their own ideas, and build or renew relationships. I’m looking forward to what’s sure to be a great convention and to seeing many of my friends and colleagues in Columbus.”
Early-bird registration pricing is available to attendees who register by July 12.
