MORE than 240 delegates from across the world attended last week's 12th international Life Long Learning in Pharmacy (LLLP) conference in Brisbane, which had the theme Shaping tomorrow's practitioners for today.
The three day event saw attendees examine pharmacy trends overseas, as well as the expectations and standards that will be required for education in pharmacy into the future.
LLLP was hosted by the Australian Pharmacy Council, with ceo and Host Committee chair Brownyn Clark saying topics included opportunities for continuing professional development, the styles of leadership that make a difference to pharmacy in other parts of the world, and the important elements needed to achieve interprofessional collaboration and practice.
"The next generation is the cohort we need to take notice of and work so closely with, as they are the generation that will take our profession forward in bold ways as new technologies, online systems and opportunities not seen before will become their pharmacy 'bread and butter'," she said.
The next LLLP is scheduled for Jul 2020 in Dublin, Ireland.
