18th EPSA Summer University

The 18th EPSA Summer University occurred between the 2nd and the 8th of August in Białystok, a beautiful city in the north-eastern Poland, known as the Green Lungs of this country.

Under the topic "Pharmacist, the hero with a thousand faces", this event gathered more than 100 participants from 24 countries around Europe that had the chance to develop their soft-skills through an enormous variety of trainings, to extend their knowledge in Pharmacy hot topics by attending workshop sessions as to raise awareness about Hygiene during the Public Health Campaign.

But Summer University is also about meeting new people and making new friends, which the programme allowed us. From visiting the Białowieża National Park to the Medical University of Białystok, our participants had the opportunity to visit this beautiful city. In the evening the social programme took the participants back to the pre-historic age and celebrated the adulthood of this great event!

Hygiene your summer!

EPSA Public Health Campaigns aim to empower pharmacy students and patients through knowledge and education. With EPSA members’ help and GSK support, the Hygiene Awareness Campaign is being organised at European level throughout the months of July and August.

To set an example, EPSA and the Polish Reception Committee for the 18th Summer University carried out this campaign in Białystok in order to educate the general public on which diseases can be prevented by having a good hygiene. Besides the workshop where the participants learned the aim of this public health campaign and the pharmacist role in counseling patients, they had the opportunity to get in direct contact with the general public and share their knowledge about this topic.

The locations for the campaign were: Branicki Palace and Alfa Mall from Białystok and the activities were linked with different types of hygiene. The winners of the public health campaign photography contest were: Monika Čičová (Slovakia) and Hera Mobeen Ali (UK).

EPSA Mentoring Project

This project aims to establish a bond between current professionals and students, in order to provide them with the career guidance under an international perspective of development!

Each student will have the chance to choose a mentor within their desired area of interest, with whom they can establish regular contact over e-mail, Skype or face-to-face meetings. This will allow the sharing of experience and knowledge between the two of them.
