THE Australian Pharmacy Council (APC) has opened early bird registrations for the 2024 Interprofessional Colloquium, to be held on 22 May at the Emporium Hotel, South Bank in Brisbane (Meeanjin), HERE.
This year's theme, announced in Oct last year, focuses on amplifying Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander voices to transform the health profession's education and practice.
The program will cover topics such as co-design, an inclusive curriculum, cultural safety, and how professions can work together to achieve this.
APC CEO Bronwyn Clark explained, "we've been listening to our First Nations colleagues, and it is about raising their voices to emphasise the importance of decolonising our education programs.
"What could be more important than that?" she asked.
"This is not a pharmacy-only event, and we have been overwhelmed with the response from speakers from right across the health professions who have agreed to share their knowledge with us for this day, and I am hopeful about how this can lead to positive change for First Nations peoples' health in this country," Clark explained.
The APC also announced the event facilitators and first round of speakers last week, HERE.
"Join us in this transformative journey to learn from and with colleagues from across health professions, with a networking reception following the event," Clark concluded.
