Guild Update 14 Dec 15 – Revamped Members Only Emergency Management Resources
December 15, 2015
The Guild has updated its
Emergency Management
Resources toolkit to help
members manage their
businesses during natural
disasters such as bushfires,
storms and floods.
Recent bushfires in Western
Australia and South Australia and
the prospect of a hot dry summer
have reinforced the need for
pharmacists to prepare an
emergency management plan.
The plan should cover
issues such as staffing,
insurance, financial, regulatory
arrangements for medicines
supply and business recovery
during an emergency and also
includes advice on business
continuity and recovery planning.
Pharmacists play a critical
role in ensuring continuity of
medicine supply to consumers
in emergencies where patients
may have lost or do not have
access to their medicines and/or
prescriptions.
Guild Members can access
the resources by logging
into myGuild and visiting the
Emergency Management page.The above article was sent to subscribers in Pharmacy Daily's issue from 15 Dec 15 To see the full newsletter, see the embedded issue below or CLICK HERE to download Pharmacy Daily from 15 Dec 15
