PSA’s pharmacy register
January 14, 2011
NSW and Queensland
pharmacists affected by the floods
are now able to provide suggestions
as to what assistance they will need
over the coming weeks and months,
via a new register set up by the
Pharmaceutical Society of Australia.
Created as part of the PSA’s bid
to ensure that aid is well targeted
and used to maximum effect, the
register is designed to help
pharmacists “get back on their feet”.
Members who wish to provide
assistance to their flood-affected
colleagues are also being urged to
contact the PSA to provide details
of what they can offer.
“We have had numerous inquiries
from members wanting to help their
colleagues in the flood-affected
areas and the register is our way of
coordinating the efforts so that the
help provided is effectual and
timely,” said National President of
the PSA, Warwick Plunkett.
The PSA has also said that
pharmacists wishing to contribute
donations can do so via the PSA
Benevolent Fund.
Meanwhile, PSA staffers have
been kept busy today hosting a
range of fundraising events across
the nation, with the PSA agreeing
to match donations dollar for dollar.
Pharmacists wishing to register
aid suggestions or assistance offers
should email Peter Waterman atpeter.
waterman@psa.org.au, and
those wanting to donate to the
Benevolent Fund can find the form
on the PSA website- www.psa.org.au.
