THE Australasian College of Pharmacy announced this week the re-signing of a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) with the National Australian Pharmacy Students' Association (NAPSA).
The MOU was officially signed during the 2024 Pharmacy Connect Conference in Sydney by College CEO, Amanda Seeto (pictured left), and NAPSA National President, Sebastian Harper (pictured centre, with College Chief Pharmacist Suzy Nash on the right).
The partnership signifies a commitment to support the development of pharmacy students across Australia, the college said.
The collaboration will focus on providing additional education and training to support the transition from university to practice, ensuring that pharmacy students are well-prepared for their future careers in the industry.
Seeto said she looks forward to providing pharmacy students with up-to-date resources and the chance to engage in professional development activities.
In addition, the college is offering NAPSA members complimentary college membership during their tertiary education.
Harper also welcomed the renewal of the MOU and the opportunity it offers students to learn and complement their university studies.
To start NAPSA members on their full scope of practice learning journey, pharmacy students can access the College's uncomplicated cystitis training.
"With UTI services in community pharmacy now available Australia-wide, this training is a must for pharmacy students," Seeto said. KB
