THREE Australian pharmacists have been newly granted Fellowships of the International Pharmaceutical Federation, with the accolades bestowed yesterday in Seoul, Korea, during the opening ceremony of the 77th World Congress of Pharmacy and Pharmaceutical Sciences. Interestingly Australia is the only country across the globe to have more than one fellowship awarded this year, indicating the leading position of the Australian pharmacy sector.
The honorees include Monash University's Kristie Galbraith; Dr Betty Chaar from the University of Sydney; and former NSW Pharmacy Guild president Paul Sinclair, all of whom are pictured accepting their awards from FIP president Carmel Pena.
FIP Fellowships recognise individual members of the Federation who have "exhibited strong leadership internationally, distinguished themselves in the pharmaceutical sciences and/or practice of pharmacy, contributed to the advancement of pharmaceutical sciences and/or practice of pharmacy, and who have served FIP".
Kristie Galbraith (above) is Associate Professor at Monash University, and director of the Faculty of Pharmacy and Pharmaceutical Sciences postgraduate studies and professional development unit.
