This in-person EHDS event – organised by the European Association of E-Pharmacies (EAEP) – presents high-level policymakers and stakeholders on key themes surrounding the digital health domain (e.g. electronic prescription and health data sharing), both from the EU and national perspective. As a common European regulatory framework for the sharing of health data for primary (healthcare providers) and secondary (research and innovation) uses, the European Health Data Space (EHDS) will have a major impact on the national and regional level.

As innovative healthcare providers, with sound experience in providing high-quality national and cross-border digital health services, online pharmacies can contribute to making the EHDS a success. As the event will take place at the heart of German policymaking, a dedicated panel discussion – next to showcasing benefits and experiences of other EU countries – will be aimed at taking stock of the implementation of electronic prescription in Germany as well as future scenarios.

Registration via Eventbrite is offered free of charge on the EAEP event website.
