THE National Australian Pharmacy Students' Association (NAPSA), which represents more than 3,500 pharmacy students and 17 student associations across Australia, is holding its annual Congress event in Canberra this week.
The highly anticipated event began on Sun 15 Jan and will continue through to this Sat 21 Jan.
The Queensland Pharmacy Students' Association (QPSA) from the University of Queensland, sent 16 motivated students to the nation's capital to attend the NAPSA Congress 2023.
On arrival, there was an air of excitement to attend an event with other pharmacy schools from across Australia and New Zealand, after years of online learning.
Jessica Heald, (pictured right), QPSA President 2023, said the Congress Organising Committee greeted all the students warmly, gifting the delegates showbags, featuring a range of their favourite pharmacy products.
"The Hydralyte they included was certainly welcome after the Neon Welcome Night at Mooseheads," Heald enthused.
"On Monday, our week of education began with inspiring welcome speeches from Dr Fei Sim from the Pharmaceutical Society of Australia, Professor Trent Twomey from the Pharmacy Guild of Australia, Jeyda Shiaxiates from Priceline and, of course, our NAPSA President Flynn Swift."
The first two days of the education program has been filled with engaging and innovative presentations from PSA, Star Pharmacy, PDL, Chemist Warehouse, and many more.
"The months of effort from the Congress Organising Committee and the NAPSA team has certainly paid off.
"We cannot wait to see what is in store for the delegates next," Heald concluded.
