Pharmacy Daily | UTS raises pharmacy profile

THE recently launched Faculty of Pharmacy at the University of Technology Sydney (PD 11 Aug) is set to gain exposure through an upcoming public address by UTS head of Pharmacy, Professor Charlie Benrimoj, as part of the UTSpeaks lecture series. Dubbed ‘A Medicated Nation’, the free lecture on 13 Sep will feature “leading UTS researchers in pharmacy” who will take a “critical look at how medications are prescribed and consumed in Australia”. Speaking alongside Benrimoj will be Associate Professor Mary Bebawy who specialises within the fledgling faculty in the “role and regulation of the xenobiotic cascade in drug disposition and in cancer multidrug resistance”. The lecture will examine whether the Australian community is getting value for money from medicines, and “whether new approaches to the responsible use and explanation of medicines could be adopted”.
