Dear Colleagues,
It is my great honor and pleasure to invite you on behalf of the Organizing Committee to the 5th Croatian Congress on Side Effects of Psychopharmacs with international participation, to be held in Vinkovci, the oldest city of Europe, from 16 to 19 October 2019.
The intention of the Organizer is to bring together respectable lecturers who will present contemporary knowledge through lectures and
discussions and exchange knowledge and experience on side effects of psychopharmacs – their impact on the treatment of patients, health and
quality of life. It will be important to educate the patients on the issue of side effects of psychopharmacs for their successful participation in treatment as well as the interaction of psychopharmacs with drugs from other groups as a scientific and professional challenge in modern medicine.
Knowing the importance of this topic, I am convinced that the exchange of knowledge and experiences during the 5th Croatian Congress on Side
Effects of Psychopharmacs with international participation will enrich all participants with the latest knowledge of this issue we face in our daily
work. We invite all psychiatrists, neurologists, doctors of family medicine, nurses and technicians, pharmacists, representatives of the pharmaceutical
industry, students and everyone else interested to join us and actively participate in this important scientific meeting.
We will also try to spend pleasant moments in socializing and getting to know each other and beautiful Slavonia, and Vinkovci will certainly allow
us to do so.
With best regards and looking forward to seeing you soon!
