AUSTRALIAN pharmacy will enjoy a higher profile following the election of former Pharmacy Guild of Australian National Vice President, Paul Sinclair, as the International Pharmaceutical Federation's (FIP's) next President, Australian Pharmacy Council (APC) CEO, Bronwyn Clark, believes.
Clark, who was appointed Chair of the FIP Consortium at the FIP World Congress of Pharmacy and Pharmaceutical Sciences in Seville, Spain, earlier this week, welcomed Sinclair's election.
"This is a fantastic opportunity for Australia and the Australian pharmacy environment," she said.
"We're thrilled to see Paul's leadership further cement our relationship with FIP as part of the world stage.
"His work will no doubt help us to raise the profile of Australia and highlight our work to advance and assure quality in pharmacy education."
Meanwhile, Sinclair has pledged to "advocate for the pharmacy profession in all its forms, further advancing pharmacy worldwide, and leaving no one behind", during his four-year term as FIP President.
"Our smallest member organisation will always be an important cog in the wheel that drives FIP forward," he said.
