Accessible Pharmacy

by Federico Bartolomei

The Istituto Cavazza and Bologna's health institutions present their project at Exposanità 2006.

The Istituto Cavazza was kept quite busy during Exposanità 2006, a four-day event. This year, besides the usual institutional stand, the Institute has set up a dedicated area, opened to visitors, for the Accessible Pharmacy, a project developed in collaboration with AFM S.p.A., community pharmacies. Moreover, a conference, which was organized in collaboration with the AUSL of the City of Bologna, was held on Friday, May 26. Entitled "Support for persons with vision impairment: Bologna's AUSL and the Istituto Cavazza standing for a network of services and opportunities", the conference welcomed important speakers who provided new information and described intervention tools for social workers, health and school professionals through the synergistic relationship between Bologna's AUSL and the Istituto Cavazza. During this event, a theorical analysis was proposed on avenues for school training of persons who live with vision loss, as well as a summarized review of experiences and short and long term objectives.
