      7th Annual
PharmaMed Logistics 2010
19th – 20th October 2010, Crowne Plaza Darling Harbour, Sydney

Driving efficiency and minimising costs in healthcare operations through consolidated procurement and a lean supply chain

The pharmaceutical industry is facing an ever increasing number of challenges as it is trying to sustain strong revenue growth. Patents of blockbuster medicines are expiring; the delivery of innovation is decreasing while the demand for specialist high value treatment is rising.

The provision of an efficient supply chain is a core component of a successful and cost effective operation.

The 7th annual PharmaMed Logistics conference will take a broader look at all aspects involved in an efficient inbound and outbound supply chain.

This is the only event in Australia that focuses solely on the specific supply chain needs of the pharmaceutical industry. As a delegate you will examine various different technological innovations and the way in which they will assist you in making your supply chain more efficient.

Now in its 7th year the PharmaMed Logistics conference has developed into an established industry meeting that gives you the chance to discuss recent issues with Australia’s leading experts in the pharmaceutical industry.
