THE Pharmaceutical Society of Australia (PSA) has welcomed Blair Boyer (pictured) as South Australia's new Minister for Health and Wellbeing, thanking outgoing Minister Chris Picton for his strong engagement with the pharmacy profession.
"Minister Picton has been a committed partner in advancing pharmacist scope in South Australia," said PSA South Australia and Northern Territory president, Adjunct Professor Manya Angley.
"His leadership helped position South Australia at the forefront of pharmacist-led care, including expanded vaccination authority, new prescribing pathways, and pharmacist-delivered services such as UTI and oral contraceptive supply," she said.
"His support for the 24/7 pharmacy program has also significantly improved access to medicines and care for South Australians."
The PSA said it looks forward to working with Minister Boyer to continue strengthening pharmacist-led care and improving access to essential health services across the state.
