Satellite meetings

In addition to the WCP2023 programme, several satellite meetings will be held in the days before and after the congress. These are workshops or smaller meetings which are organised independently of WCP2023, but which cover similar topics or themes that you may find interesting.

As these are independent meetings, you will need to register for them seperately. Follow the links for each meeting for more information.

Please note: we are no longer taking new proposals for satellite meetings.

Patient centric sampling – What it is and how it can transform decentralised clinical trials?

Sunday 2 July, Crown Plaza, Glasgow

This one day event will introduce you to patient centric blood sampling – the collection of high quality samples for the determination of pharmacokinetic (PK), pharmacodynamic (PD) and clinical chemistry endpoints. The technologies offer the potential to collect high quality samples from patients away from the centralised clinical settings, such as in the home, thus putting the needs of the patient at the centre.
