LEADER of the Opposition Peter Dutton has just been announced as a keynote speaker at the Australian Pharmacy Professional Conference and Trade Exhibition (APP2024) on 15 March on the Gold Coast.
Dutton will present his keynote following the State of the Industry Panel session.
Meanwhile, Shadow Minister for Health and Aged Care and Shadow Minister for Sport Anne Rouston will also present at the conference.
Twomey said Rouston has been "a vocal supporter of community pharmacy over the last year", as it has faced the impact of 60-day dispensing (PD 14 Feb).
"As the largest pharmacy and trade conference in the southern hemisphere, I can think of no better event for Mr Dutton to show his support for community pharmacy," said Pharmacy Guild of Australia National President, Professor Trent Twomey.
"A lot has happened recently in community pharmacy and APP is an important opportunity for public leaders to interact with pharmacists on behalf of our patients."
APP is expected to attract around 7,000 attendees.
The four-day program will feature more than 120 industry, business, clinical and motivational speakers and a raft of pre-conference workshops, masterclasses, Q&A panels, forums and presentations.
Participating businesses include API, Sigma Healthcare, Blackmores, Sanofi, Moderna, Sandoz and plenty more. JHM
