THE Pharmacy Guild of Australia has signed a new agreement with the Medical Software Industry Association (MSIA), creating a framework for the organisations to work together for the benefit of their respective members over the next five years.
A Memorandum of Understanding was signed this week by Guild national president, George Tambassis and executive director David Quilty with MSIA president Emma Hossack.
"The Guild and MSIA share a common objective, to support communityS pharmacists in performing their role - delivering medicines and services to patients - through the provision of software specifically developed and tailored to meet the needs of the pharmacy industry," a statement read.
They will work together in areas of mutual interest such as digital health, data strategy, PBS/RPBS changes, promoting collaborative achievements and the next Community Pharmacy Agreement.
Under the newly signed MoU Executive officers of both organisations will meet at least annually "to discuss strategic matters of mutual interest".
