APP2013 registrations open
October 31, 2012
THE Pharmacy Guild has opened
online registrations for next year’s
Australian Pharmacy Professional
conference, which will once again
take place on the Gold Coast.
The event will be held 21-24
March, with the theme of
“Pharmacists’ expanding role in
primary care”.
It will follow the AACP Forum,
which will also be held at the Gold
Coast Convention and Exhibition
Centre on 20 March.
A preliminary program is available
in the registration brochure,
indicating a number of changes
such as the inclusion of a new Rural
Pharmacy Forum.
Covered by the overall
registration fee, this forum will take
place on Thursday 21 March and be
dedicated specifically to pharmacy
in rural, regional and remote
Australia along with Indigenous
health issues.
Once again a trade exhibition will
accompany APP on the weekend
with an expanded floor area, with
registration also available for those
who only wish to attend the trade
show segment.
Key speakers who will be
presenting at APP2013 include
Donnie Calhoun, who’s president of
the US National Community
Pharmacists Association.
Also on the podium will be Rick
Solano, who’s chief executive
officer of Mirixa USA which has
strong technology connections with
the Guild’s GuildLink subsidiary.
Other speakers will include New
Zealand guild president Karen Crisp,
Frank Sirianni from Medici Capital,
Willach Australia md John Koot and
APHS Packaging chief executive
officer, Cathie Reid along with many
other industry luminaries.
The conference brochure states
that accredited CPD credits will be
available for APP2013 sessions,
with both Group 1 and Group 2
activities will be offered.
The APP gala dinner will feature
‘100% Kylie’ - the world’s most
successful and longest running Kylie
Minogue tribute concert, with the
Guild urging attendees to come to
the dinner by quipping ‘on a night
like this, you’ll want to stay forever’.
Online accommodation bookings
are now available through the
official booking agent Organisers
Australia with special rates
negotiated with nearby hotels.
There are also a range of flight
specials including the new Qantas
direct flights from Sydney to the
Gold Coast.
