THE Pharmaceutical Society of Australia (PSA) has announced the theme for 2025 Thank Your Pharmacist Day on 13 Mar.
'Pharmacists stepping up', acknowledges the increasing role of pharmacists in supporting patient care and strengthening Australia's healthcare system, with the PSA calling on Australians to show their appreciation for pharmacists and the care they provide.
PSA National President Associate Professor Fei Sim said the theme reflects the dedication of pharmacists as they take on expanded roles and responsibilities in response to community needs.
"Every day, pharmacists across Australia are stepping up to meet growing healthcare demands across a diverse range of practice areas," Assoc Prof Sim said.
"Thank Your Pharmacist Day is an opportunity to recognise their contributions and the vital role they play in ensuring the health and wellbeing of Australians."
The PSA is also inviting elected officials to connect with local pharmacists in the lead-up to Thank Your Pharmacist Day, to witness first-hand how pharmacists are stepping up to meet patient needs in their communities.
"With the federal election approaching, this is an important moment for decision-makers to see the critical role pharmacists play and to understand how supporting pharmacists means better healthcare access and medicine safety for all Australians," Assoc Prof Sim said.
