PSA wants ECP on board
May 13, 2016
THE Pharmaceutical Society
of Australia has announced the
recruitment and appointment of
an Early Career Pharmacist (ECP)
to join its National Board is now
formally under way.
The move follows an “historic
resolution” passed at PSA’s
board meeting in Mar, with the
organisation saying it had made
a strategic decision for the future
needs of the profession which
includes having a stronger focus on
pharmacists early in their career.
“The majority of the profession,
and PSA’s membership, are Early
Career Pharmacists so it makes
sense to have at least one director
who fits this profile to help shape
the future strategic direction of
PSA,” said PSA national president
Joe Demarte.
He said the term of the ECP PSA
director would be twelve months,
and once an ECP director is
appointed they would also become
chair of the PSA’s National ECP
Working Group.
To be eligible for the new
director’s position pharmacists
must be registered, be a PSA
member, have no more than
ten years of pharmacy practice
experience post registration, and
“experience and knowledge of
relevant issues facing Early Career
Pharmacists”.
“This is an excellent opportunity
to make a commitment to your
profession and we strongly
encourage all eligible members to
apply,” Demarte said.
Applications are due by 29 May -
