Pharmacy Business Network in Canberra
May 15, 2012
One of the Pharmacy Guild’s
most exciting initiatives ever, The
Pharmacy Business Network
(PBN) is taking place at the
National Convention Centre in
Canberra, 13-16 September.
The official website
www.pharmacybusinessnetwork.com
has gone live with a preliminary
program.
Highlights of the program
include the National Student
Business Plan Competition, Jean
Shannon from the St James
Ethics Centre will be making the
inaugural Judy Liauw Foundation
Address and in a unique first, the
PBN will host optional
masterclasses on Sunday 16
September.
The PBN is designed to help
pharmacies make better business
decisions and our focus is to
provide delegates with tools and
ideas to improve business
planning, management and
profitability.
“The role of community
pharmacies is going through a
period of significant change and
expansion,” National President of
the Guild, Kos Sclavos, said.
“We are becoming ever more
valuable healthcare destinations
for our community and they need
you to be a partner, not just a
supplier, through this growth.
“Customer retention, cost of
goods sold, compliance,
operating costs, time to
profitability, profit margins,
labour costs, inventory turns,
productivity and employee
turnover have always been a part
of pharmacy – however, now
more than ever, pharmacy is
looking for more value in these
areas.
“This Canberra event is a must
on the pharmacy calendar and I
encourage anyone in pharmacy to
attend,” he added.
Registrations for the PBN will
open soon.
