Workshop Submission
We invite you to submit a proposal for interactive and engaging workshops as part of our conference programme. If you would like to submit an abstract for oral or poster presentation for the conference then please visit our dedicated Abstract submission page.
Workshops provide an opportunity to move beyond presentation, offering space for collaboration, discussion and practical exploration of ideas that can inform and transform practice. Whether you are showcasing innovative approaches, sharing research-informed practice, or facilitating hands-on learning experiences, we welcome submissions that foster participation, critical thinking and meaningful exchange. All submissions must align with the conference themes and demonstrate relevance to advancing pharmacy education, workforce development, or practice.
You are welcome to submit multiple workshops for consideration. All workshop submissions will be acknowledged on receipt by email.
All accepted presenters are responsible for their own registration fees, travel and accommodation and must register and pay the appropriate fee by 12th April 2027. If registration is not completed by this date, the Organising Committee reserve the right to remove the submission from the programme.

Workshop Review Criteria
The goal for workshop review is to assure programme quality and that all sessions at the LLLP International Conference are education based, align with the stated sub-themes and are relevant to the international audience.
Each workshop is reviewed using a standardised evaluation form enabling the committee to stratify submissions and determine a cut off for rejection in a consistent way. The review process is conducted as a ‘blind’ review, meaning that the reviewer does not have access to the author’s name and affiliations.
The workshop review evaluation form is based on the following components:
- Overall quality of the proposed workshop
- Clarity of the workshop's goals and objectives
- Methodology and format - Does the workshop support active learning
- Relevance - Is the workshop relevant to the stated thematic category, focus area and target audience
- Outcome - Does the workshop develop the learning objectives stated
