Access & Inclusion

Working toward access and inclusion for all

The organisers of The Pharmacy Show are putting access and inclusion high on the agenda for this year's event. With that in mind, we would like to highlight a range of initiatives in support of this, along with further clarification on our overall admissions policy.

Striving towards access and inclusion for all is no easy task... it's a very long road and we're only at the beginning of the journey, so first and foremost we do kindly ask for patience and forbearance - if there is anything we can do that will make your experience of our event better that isn't covered by the measures we've already introduced, please get in touch and we will try our best to accommodate your request.

Admissions Policy

Our overarching admissions policy remains the same:

"The Pharmacy Show is a business event exclusively for UK-registered healthcare and pharmacy professionals, and senior leaders working within a pharmacy or healthcare establishment. Undergraduate students and minors under the age of 18 are not allowed to attend, to comply with the ABPI Code of Practice. There are no crèche facilities available at the show."

This has been our long-standing policy based on the following considerations:

  • The Pharmacy Show is a business-to-business event for UK-registered healthcare and pharmacy professionals, and senior leaders working within a pharmacy or healthcare establishment.
  • The exhibition floor is a crowded space with many potential hazards for young children.
  • ABPI rules dictate that general public should not be exposed to marketing/prescribing information from pharmaceutical companies.
  • All delegates attending should be able to enjoy an undisrupted experience of the event, and in particular our educational programme.

Anyone who, for whatever reason, is unable to attend The Pharmacy Show is reminded that you can contact all of our exhibitors via our Exhibitor List and session recordings from this year's conference programme will be made available via the official Event App after the event.

Exceptions to this Policy

We are fully sympathetic to the demands on working parents who wish to attend The Pharmacy Show, and with that in mind, we are able to make the following exceptions to our admissions policy:

Parents/guardians of nursing babies/infants are allowed to attend The Pharmacy Show with their babies/infants under the following conditions:

  • The nursing babies/infants should remain safely seated within a pram/pushchair at all times (with the exception of when nursing/comforting).
  • Nursing babies/infants should never be left unattended.
  • Parents/guardians of nursing babies/infants should not ask or expect anyone else to supervise their children.
  • Parents/guardians of nursing babies/infants may be politely asked to leave a conference session if the babies'/infants' presence is disrupting the session.
  • Parent/guardians of nursing babies/infants bring their children to the event entirely at their own risk and responsibility.

Parents/guardians of nursing babies/infants should note that, in addition to the facilities provided by the venue, there will be an area within hall for nursing/feeding.

Accessibility Improvements at The Pharmacy Show

At The Pharmacy Show, we value the comfort and ease of access for all our delegates. To ensure that everyone can enjoy their time at The Pharmacy Show, we have introduced the following initiatives to make the show more accessible:

Wheelchair Access

To allow easier access to the event for wheelchair users, our event has dropped registration counters, allocated wheelchair spaces for delegates in our theatres and added ramps to the stages for speakers. NEC Birmingham also has a fleet of mobility equipment available for hire on a first-come, first-served basis. Enquiries should be made direct to the venue via email.

Disabled toilets can be found inside the exhibition hall (Hall 4), located to the side and rear of the hall.

Wheelchair Access

Hearing Loops

All theatres at the event are equipped with either fixed or portable hearing loops, allowing everyone to access our educational speaker sessions.

If you need any assistance using either the fixed or portable hearing loops, please speak to a member of our theatre staff.
