Pharmacy Daily | New PSA executive

THE Pharmaceutical Society of Australia has appointed Lisa Goldsmith as its newest Vice President of the Queensland Branch Committee. One of the youngest executives seen at the PSA on a state or territory level, Goldsmith comes to the position as an ex-NAPSA President and Chair of the Qld Branch Early Career Pharmacist Working Group. Goldsmith takes over the position from Dr Julie Stokes who has served as Branch Vice President for the past 12 months. In announcing Lisa’s appointment Nissen took the time to thank Dr Stokes who made the decision earlier in the year to step down from the role, saying “Julie’s contribution has been significant and I’m thrilled that she remains on the Committee providing her enthusiasm and expert knowledge and skills.” Goldsmith now joins fellow branch executive members University of Qld Professor, Dr Lisa Nissen, President and accredited pharmacist and community pharmacy owner, Bruce Elliot, Branch Vice President. “I believe this is a strong foundation for us to work from to help PSA members and the profession now and into the future,” Nissen said. “The balance we have is a really good one with the breadth of the profession represented,” she added. Speaking about the new committee make-up Nissen said that she felt it was a “positive reflection of the enthusiasm of Early Career Pharmacists and their desire to contribute to the profession at the highest levels.” See www.psa.org.au.
