New pharmacy alliances
July 13, 2011
THE Pharmaceutical Society of
Australia is set to get more involved
in the lives of pharmacy students,
following the signing of a
Memorandum of Understanding
between the PSA and the National
Australian Pharmacy Students’
Association.
According to the new agreement,
the PSA will assist the NAPSA
Executive in the “efficient
administration of the organisation”.
The PSA will also open its doors to
provide NAPSA with access to a
wide range of its products and
services.
“The MoU will see PSA offer
NAPSA members professional
development opportunities
through the PSA to help grow their
career and provide them with the
skills needed to take them into the
future,” said National President of
the PSA, Warwick Plunkett.
Chief Executive Officer of the PSA,
Liesel Wett welcomed the MoU,
saying it established strong links
between the PSA and NAPSA which
would ensure NAPSA’s interests
were represented and would provide
the basis for ongoing support for
students after they graduate.
“With the support and strength
of a body such as PSA behind us,
we can continue to build the
organisation and provide a greater
range of support and services for
our members,” said President of
NAPSA, Mr Timothy Mizzi.
MEANWHILE NAPSA has also
aligned itself with the Australian
College of Pharmacy, signing
another MoU which will see the
Australian College of Pharmacy act
as Secretariat and corporate
support for NAPSA.
“The College has cemented this
ongoing relationship by creating a
position on the Board of the
College for the President of NAPSA
(pro tem),” said College President
Trent Twomey.
