She will address the Guild-organised event as well as present the Pharmacy of the Year awards on Thu 08 Mar. In a statement this morning the Guild said it was “delighted” that Plibersek would be taking part in APP, saying it was “a sign of her interest in and high regard for the role of Australia’s community pharmacy network”. The QCPP Pharmacy of the Year awards will recognise excellence in Business Management, Innovation in Professional Services, and Community Engagement. And the overall winner will be the pharmacy which stands out among the finalists and can demonstrate achievements across all three categories of the awards. The Guild said that this year had seen a “high calibre” competition with a tight field which has produced three winners plus an “exceptional honorary mention” for a fourth pharmacy. All will be revealed at APP next week, so keep watching Pharmacy Daily for all the details.
