For the second year running, Helapet were pleased to be showcasing some of our top products at the Clinical Pharmacy Congress 2013 in London. With a higher delegate level this year and a terrific line-up of interesting lectures, we yet again enjoyed a great two days of meeting new and familiar faces.

Showcasing our new range of West Pharma products, our sterile 20mm Vial Adapters and the highly innovative Vial2Bag IV transfer system proved a big hit. Our friendly team of experts were delighted to receive plenty of positive feedback from a substantial range of pharmacy professionals at our stand.
 
Helapet would like to thank the organisers for a successful 2nd year. If you are interested in knowing where we will be exhibiting for the rest of 2013, please visit our news page or contact us free on 0800 0328 428.
