A newly launched Pharmacy Careers Summit will take place in Jul this year, with the one-day event having already attracted strong support from across the sector.
Pharmacy Daily is proud to be associated with the initiative which is presented by Raven's Recruitment and aims to provide an opportunity to further develop Australia's pharmacy workforce.
Taking place on 07 Jul in an online format, the inaugural Pharmacy Daily Pharmacy Careers Summit 2023 (PCS23) is free to attend and will feature a range of keynote speakers on key topics as well as a virtual "Exhibition Hall" where participants can chat one-on-one with a range of pharmacy industry employer organisations, peak bodies and universities.
Confirmed presenters include Pharmacy Guild of Australia National President, Trent Twomey; PSA National President Fei Sim; Advanced Practice Pharmacist Debbie Rigby; and Professor Andrew McLachlan from the Sydney University School of Pharmacy.
Sessions will also highlight a range of career options including community, hospital and industry, as well as opportunities for pharmacists working in other settings such as residential aged care and GP clinics, while Medici Capital's Natalie Sirianni and Frank Sirianni will also speak on "the journey to pharmacy ownership".
Pharmacy Daily publisher, Bruce Piper, said the opportunities within the pharmacy sector are immense, and it was vital to showcase them in an accessible format like this.
"The inaugural Pharmacy Careers Summit is a must-attend gathering for any aspiring and current pharmacy professionals," he said.
"We are so thrilled at the huge support already shown across the sector, and would very much like to thank those sponsors who are backing this vital initiative, including the Pharmacy Guild of Australia, Symbion and the Pharmaceutical Society of Australia," Piper added.
Alan Sutton, the owner of Raven's Recruitment and the driving force behind the initiative, said he believes that the Pharmacy Careers Summit will become a leading event on Australia's annual pharmacy calendar.
"There are so many pathways for pharmacists wanting to build their careers, and we believe this event fills a vital gap in helping to further develop strong futures for Australia's pharmacists," Sutton explained.
As well as an extensive conference program, there will be Exhibition Halls with an array of employers and organisations with some limited booth spaces still available at the Summit.
Sutton also wanted to recognise the commitment of all the peak membership bodies coming together with a common cause, to lift the numbers of students studying pharmacy and highlight the amazing career opportunities that exist within the pharmacy industry.
Registrations for the event are now open via a dedicated website at pharmacycareerssummit.com.au - more details on the cover page of today's Pharmacy Daily.
