Pharmacy Daily | Guild Update 14 Dec 15 – Revamped Members Only Emergency Management Resources

The Guild has updated its Emergency Management Resources toolkit to help members manage their businesses during natural disasters such as bushfires, storms and floods. Recent bushfires in Western Australia and South Australia and the prospect of a hot dry summer have reinforced the need for pharmacists to prepare an emergency management plan. The plan should cover issues such as staffing, insurance, financial, regulatory arrangements for medicines supply and business recovery during an emergency and also includes advice on business continuity and recovery planning. Pharmacists play a critical role in ensuring continuity of medicine supply to consumers in emergencies where patients may have lost or do not have access to their medicines and/or prescriptions. Guild Members can access the resources by logging into myGuild and visiting the Emergency Management page.
