On behalf of the ISPW Planning Committee, we warmly invite you to attend the 23rd International Social Pharmacy Workshop from 28 June - 2 July 2026 at the beautiful campus of University College Cork, Ireland, hosted by Prof Laura Sahm and Dr Michelle O'Driscoll of the UCC School of Pharmacy.
ISPW is the premier gathering of academics and researchers in social and administrative pharmacy, and these biennial workshops allow delegates to share their expertise and learn from other like-minded colleagues from across the globe.
The 23rd ISPW will allow delegates to be inspired by workshops contributed to and led by our peers, learn from plenary speakers, and network and socialise with the international social pharmacy research community. ISPW also provides an ideal platform for research students and early career researchers to showcase their research at an international conference.
The theme for ISPW 2026 is Pharmacy First, People Foremost. This theme reflects the leadership role that pharmacists and pharmacy teams can take in providing person-centred care in an increasingly complex and multi-faceted healthcare system, to ultimately improve health and wellbeing outcomes.
In addition to formal activities, delegates also have the opportunity to experience the city of Cork and it's stunning surroundings, culture and people.
This website will update with information as it becomes available. If you have any questions or comments, please email us at ispw2026@ucc.ie
We look forward to extending a warm Céad Mile Fáilte (a hundred thousand welcomes) to you all.
Prof Laura Sahm & Dr Michelle O'Driscoll
