A TEAM of pharmacy students from Victoria’s Monash University has been named as the winners of the Pharmacy Guild’s National Student Business Plan competition for 2010. The group were named the winners after a tense final faceoff at the Pharmacy Women’s Congress which was held last weekend in Hobart. The final saw Monash compete with theams from Griffith University and the University of Sydney, with the finalists providing a range of innovative concepts including genetic testing for tailored solutions to chronic disease, as well as weight loss treatments. Guild President Kos Sclavos said the competition “helps pharmacy students approach the idea of business ownership and management with confidence. “We want students to experience for themselves both the challenges and the rewards in buying, owning and operating a community pharmacy in Australia,” he added. The three finalists shared more than $15,000 in cash and prizes provided by Gold Cross Products and Services and Pharmaceutical Defence Limited.
