Expert
Knowledge based on clinical experience
The speaker was Dr (Pharm.) Adrian Bryła, PhD (Pharm.) – a specialist in clinical pharmacy, Vice-President of the Executive Board of the Polish Society of Clinical Pharmacy, affiliated with the Ludwik Rydygier Specialist Hospital in Kraków and the Collegium Medicum of the Jagiellonian University.
His expertise in polypharmacy, drug interactions and the optimisation of pain management enabled him to present the topic in an in-depth, yet practical and useful manner.
Educational activities
Different formats of knowledge
The e-Urtica portal, regional scientific and training conferences, the journal ‘Hospital Pharmacoeconomics’ and webinars form an ecosystem in which knowledge becomes a tool for safer and more informed practice.
For pharmacists, this means access to training grounded in real-world professional challenges, and for patients, it means a higher standard of care.
