About Life Long Learning in Pharmacy

The International Conferences on Life Long Learning in Pharmacy (LLLP) are a series of conferences that have been held for the past 35 years, following the inaugural meeting in Denmark in 1990. They provide an opportunity to discuss issues of importance and relevance to advancing pharmacy practice through continuous professional development (CPD) and lifelong learning. The conferences have been convened around the world in Denmark, United States, Northern Ireland, South Africa, Canada, United Kingdom, New Zealand, Croatia, Australia, Republic of Ireland (virtual), and attract pharmacists, pharmacy technicians, educators, researchers, regulators, policy-makers and professional associations from around the world.

Conference Hosts

The University of Bath and the University of Nottingham are proud to be conference co-hosts for LLLP 2027.

Organised by both universities, the conference will take place in the city of Bath, at the University of Bath's Claverton Down campus which is about a mile outside the city.


The University of Bath campus

Building on nearly 60 years of ambition and experience, the University of Bath stands as a prestigious centre of research, innovation, and academic excellence. The stunning green campus boasts a vibrant community atmosphere, with world-class facilities such as the library, Sports Training Village, arts centre, and award-winning Students’ Union all within a five-minute walk. The thriving campus overlooks the beautiful city of Bath and offers a choice of sporting, social and cultural activities.

Explore beyond the campus and it’s easy to see why the city of Bath is the UK’s only entire city on UNESCO’s world heritage list thanks to the Gothic abbey, elegant Georgian architecture, and Roman Baths, which give the city its name. Read more on the Visit Bath website.

There will be plenty of chances to explore during the conference.
