A brochure including basic information on hospital pharmacy in Austria was published in co-operation with the Austrian Chamber of Pharmacists.
Several informative articles on various areas of hospital pharmacy in Austria and the Austrian health system in general have been published in the last years. These publications can be accessed in the publication section.
