COVID-19 has forced the Pharmacy Guild of Australia to scrap plans to host its annual Pharmacy Connect conference in Sydney for the second successive year.
The Guild confirmed the event, which had been slated to take place between 03 and 05 Sep, was being postponed until 2022 after the NSW State Government announced the extension of Sydney's current lockdown until at least 28 Aug.
Guild NSW Branch President, David Heffernan, said that while the decision to postpone was tough to make it was the correct one, as pharmacists "are focusing on what matters most - the health and safety of their patients".
Delegates will able to seek a full refund of their registration or transfer it to next year's event.
