The ACCP, established in 1999, is an annual gathering of clinical pharmacists, educators, and researchers across Asia, serving as a platform to exchange best practices, advance research, and build collaborations.

This year’s ACCP carried the theme “Beyond the Limit: Advancements and Innovation of Asian Clinical Pharmacy,” emphasizing the growing role of clinical pharmacy as an indispensable function in patient care.
