A NEW session on COVID-19 has been added to the lineup at the Australian Pharmacy Professional Conference and Trade Exhibition (APP) 2020.
Set to outline pharmacy-specific information on the subject, delegates will hear from "a senior representative" from Principal Medical Adviser at the Commonwealth Office of Health Protection, Catherine Kelaher, on the matter.
"This issue is placing strain on the health system at all levels and community pharmacy has a vital role to play regarding the continuity of supply of prescription medicines, as well as providing evidence-based health advice to our worried patients," said Conference Convenor, Kos Sclavos.
MEANWHILE Sclavos also confirmed that Chris Bowen, Shadow Minister for Health and former Federal Treasurer, will also speak at APP.
Bowen's session, scheduled for 12.30pm on Fri 20 Mar, will see him present the ALP's position on community pharmacy - more information on APP at appconference.com.
