Minisymposium user-friendly medicines

Packaging plays an increasingly important role in how patients use their medicines. It can enable and stimulate the use of a medicine, but can also pose a barrier. One of the few researchers in this field is Kim Notenboom. On 27 September 2017, she is organising a minisymposium in Utrecht (the Netherlands) on the subject of her research, prior to the defense of her PhD thesis: The pursuit of user-friendly medicines: older people in the hot seat.
