  19. AU European Forum, Divonne 11-12 mars 2004 « What pharmacists understand and are knowledgeable about, are in fact, medicines. It is within this domain that they are indispensable. In the future, pharmacists should take on the selection of specific medecines, cooperating with prescribers, thus ensuring the safe and effective use of medicines by the patients. There is so much to do in these domains! Prescribing is largely irrational and patients are facing alone their treatment! » Philip Brown, FIP Congress The Hague, 1998 Michel Buchmann Dr pharmacien
