PHARMACY Guild executive director David Quilty has acknowledged in Forefront that the Guild and the PSA are "stronger and more likely to succeed by working together," after a meeting between the organisation's respective presidents "to discuss a number of issues of common interest".
The PSA and Guild are particularly working in tandem on the issue of codeine rescheduling, and the Guild also welcomed the PSA's recent announcement that it is developing a long-term strategic plan for pharmacist services (PD 31 Jul).
Quilty said the Guild is about to start its own strategic planning project looking at the future of community pharmacy to 2025 & beyond, saying "this is an excellent opportunity for the Guild and PSA to work collaboratively in developing a clear and positive plan for the future of the sector and the profession".
