AFTER close to 12 months without an in-person conference, the Pharmacy Guild of Australia is set to host a new 'invite only' event in Brisbane in Feb 2021.
Former Guild National President, Kos Sclavos, said the three-day Pharmacy Groups Symposium will be limited to 180 attendees and will take place from 08-10 Feb at the Sofitel Brisbane Central.
The event is set to cover aspects of the Seventh Community Pharmacy Agreement, electronic prescriptions and issues around pharmacy rentals.
"From a strategic point of view, the Pharmacy Groups Symposium is a key event for the Guild," he said.
"Pharmacy brands/banner groups play an important role in the viability of community pharmacy, and we want to ensure we are working hand-in-hand with our pharmacy groups as we implement the new agreement.
"With the pharmacy industry's major conference - APP - a few months later in May 2021, there will be a number of announcements and this symposium event will allow the industry to be aligned.
"Due to the confidential nature of the topics discussed, the event will operate under 'Chatham House Rule' principles and media will not be allowed to attend.
"For this reason we are unable to offer a virtual registration for the event.
"We are confident that by Feb 2021 you will be able to travel to Queensland and return to your home state/territory without quarantine."
