The Pharmacy Guild of Australia is dedicated to supporting new and emerging pharmacy owners and developing new leaders in community pharmacy and aims to equip early career pharmacists with the pathways, skills, tools and professional networks needed to be leaders in the primary health care system.
This year’s Virtual Student Summit will provide students of all year levels greater insight into Community Pharmacy; the ability to practise to full scope, to lead innovation and be an integral part of the community and patient health outcomes. The 2022 Summit will have a strong focus on dispelling some of the myths and stigmas associated with Community Pharmacy and will encourage student participation in this regard. The Summit will highlight real life examples of community pharmacists and industry experts and provide interactive, practical sessions that will leave delegates feeling energised and engaged!
Revisit the 2021 Student Summit, with all sessions available on the Guild's Youtube channel.
