Also on the list of new Fellows is former PSA NSW President Chelsea Felkai who led the organisation through COVID-19; renowned consultant pharmacist Sarah Gillespie; former PSA/NT Branch President Robyn Johns who was instrumental in the SA implementation of Real Time Prescription Monitoring; and allergy and Western Australian anaphylaxis researcher Sandra Salter.
