THE Pharmacy Guild is currently collecting data for its annual industry-wide survey, the Guild Digest, which provides an overview of the Australian pharmacy industry for the preceding financial year.
The Guild will use the data in Community Pharmacy Agreement negotiations, with the aim to "properly represent" all of its members at every industry and government level.
The Guild says the publication is an important tool for its members, allowing them to refer to the latest information when making business decisions and plans.
The information will also be used by community pharmacy owners, managers and financial advisers as a "financial benchmarking tool", as well as by banks and pharmacy brokers to assist with pharmacy valuations.
Guild members can expect to receive an email today inviting them to participate in the 15-minute survey, along with the option of providing additional financial information.
The deadline to complete the survey is 03 April, however members are encouraged to complete the survey "as soon as possible" before the cut-off.
Any members who don't receive the email can contact Guild.Nat@guild.org.au.
Members can take a look at the 2019 Guild Digest for financial year 2017-18, HERE - it is also available for non-members to purchase.
