DR FEI Sim (pictured) has been re-elected as the National President, and Chair of the National Board of the Pharmaceutical Society of Australia (PSA), last week.
Sim, who was first elected as President in Jun 2021, said, "despite the challenges that our profession faces, I am confident in the future of our profession as we work toward recognising the skills and expertise of pharmacists to allows us to practice to our top of scope - this is my priority and the priority of our entire team.
"I would also like to thank retiring Board members Michelle Lynch, Warwick Plunkett, Andrew Sluggett, and Deanna Mill for their service to our profession."
The Guild National President Trent Twomey said Sim's re-election was a strong demonstration of the stability within the profession.
"At the moment the pharmacy profession is facing existential threats...and the strong PSA leadership is working closely with the Guild to minimise the dangers of the 60-day dispensing mis-directed policy".
Twomey added this "unified approach also augured well for future shared priorities such as full scope of practice".
The Board has also elected Caroline Diamantis and Benjamin Marchant as National Vice-Presidents.
The PSA full Board of Directors includes Fei Sim (WA), Caroline Diamantis (NSW), Benjamin Marchant (Vic), Dr Shane Jackson (Tas), Helen Benson (NSW), Amanda Cross (Vic), Mark Naunton (ACT), Natalie Soulsby (SA), and Bridget Totterman (Qld), and new appointments will start on 01 Jul.
