THE Pharmacy Guild of Australia has launched a "thought starter" paper titled 'Community Pharmacy 2025 -- Introduction'.
Guild executive director David Quilty, writing in his editorial in Forefront, said the paper "introduces a major strategic planning project that the Guild is launching aimed at helping secure the future of community pharmacy to 2025 and beyond".
"Community Pharmacy 2025 (CP2025) will see the Guild develop a vision and a plan to enable community pharmacies to have a viable, longer term future as an integral part of the Australian health care system," Quilty wrote.
The project, extending over nine months, will be asking for ideas and feedback, as part of an ongoing conversation with pharmacy owners, their staff and patients, as well as industry stakeholders.
Qualitative and quantitative market research along with expert groups will also inform the discussion along with the Guild's own health economics modelling.
