Pharmacy Daily | Scott steps aside

The Pharmacy Guild of Australia has acknowledged the massive contribution made to community pharmacy by Bill Scott, who yesterday stepped down as Chairman of GuildLink Pty Ltd. Scott will also resign the chairmanship of Fred IT Group, but will continue to represent the Guild on the company’s board following the significant investment made in the group by Telstra (PD 02 Oct). He’s headed up GuildLink since the Guild bought the company nine years ago, overseeing its transition from a facilitator of Consumer Medicines Information leaflets to become a developer and distributor of the GuildCare national systematised patient support programs. Scott said his time with the companies had provided a “phenomenal opportunity to be part of the development of innovations that have enhanced the delivery of health care for consumers”. Guild President Kos Sclavos said that Scott had contributed to the Guild for decades at a senior level, with an “absolute determination to ensure pharmacists adopt essential IT systems to record their clinical work”.
