FORTHCOMING EVENTS
Pharmacy Australia Congress (PAC)
Venue: Melbourne
29-31 October 2010
Theme: The seven star pharmacy principles as the basis of an over-arching theme of Star Performance - for the future for pharmacy. The appropriate, efficient and cost-effective use of resources should be the foundation of a pharmacist’s work, regardless of which sector of the profession the pharmacist is engaged in.
The elements of a seven star pharmacist are:
- Care-giver - the pharmacist provides high quality caring services, integrated and continuous with the health care system.
- Decision-maker - the pharmacist should be able to make decisions to achieve appropriate, efficacious and cost effective use of resources.
- Communicator - the pharmacist’s ideal position between physician and patient requires them to be knowledgeable and confident while interacting with health professionals and the public
- Leader - the pharmacist is obligated to assume a leadership position in the overall welfare of the community.
- Manager - the pharmacist must effectively manage resources (human, physical and fiscal) and information.
- Life-long-learner - pharmacists should be committed to learning throughout their careers.
- Teacher - the pharmacist has a responsibility to assist with the education and training of future generations of pharmacists.
