Day 7: Wed 31 Aug - Buenos Aires

 A very early start for the combined breakfast session. The session started at 07:15 am with "breakfast" followed by the presentations. You couldn't really call it breakfast though - a muffin and tiny croissant with tea or coffee!?? The presentations were quite good though. It was then straight into Jane's combined session with Lee – The role of the pharmacists in managing emergent diseases, with two presentations, then mornos, another presentation then lunch, and the last two presentations after lunch. The first three presentations were quite good and fit the topic well, however the last two were not so good, quite boring really.

We had a few minutes between the end of Jane's session and the start of Sylvain's session.  With the exception of the first presentation, all others were interesting and relevant to the title of Law and order in emergency pharmacy practice.  The session finished a little earlier which was good as it gave us time to get back to the hotel to change for MEPS Dinner.  The bus picking us up was late but we made it to the restaurant with plenty of time to spare. It was a set menu with 3 courses. Main was a choice of salmon or chicken. I think those that had the chicken had the better deal as the salmon dish was more rice with a tiny bit of salmon. Entrée was cold meats and cheese and dessert was raspberry tiramisu.  We were all having such a good time that we didn't realise the time was going so fast and all of a sudden we were told that dinner was over and it was time to get back on the bus to return to our respective hotels.

Only got back to the hotel just before midnight, had a quick shower and into bed.
