SEMI-FINALISTS in the Pharmacy Guild of Australia's National Student Business Plan Competition have been announced.
Six teams, with members drawn from nine universities, have been awarded places in the semi-finals of the competition: James Cook University/Queensland University of Technology/University of South Australia; University of Technology Sydney; University of Queensland; Auckland University; Latrobe University/Monash University; and University of Tasmania.
These teams progressed to the semi-finals based on the quality of their business plans and their scores in the quarter-final round which consisted of responses to feedback judges provided on their first round business plans.
The semi-final round closes on 11 Aug 2017, with the top three teams progressing to the finals during the Pharmacy Connect Conference being held from 01-03 Sep 2017.
The aim of the competition is to encourage pharmacy students to develop how they would go about structuring a pharmacy business, and produce a viable business plan.
It gives pharmacy students an opportunity to demonstrate their understanding of pharmacy practice through innovative and financially secure business models.
The Guild-run competition is backed by Sanofi Consumer Healthcare as principal sponsor, EBOS as major sponsor, plus Gold Cross Products and Services and Pharmaceutical Defence Limited (PDL) as other sponsors.
