Guild launches 2015-18 plan
July 23, 2015
the Pharmacy Guild has released
details of a new Corporate Plan
which aims to provide “compelling
member value and innovative
business solutions to members”.
A key target of the plan is to
“secure the future of Guild member
pharmacies, by making them less
dependent on future community
pharmacy agreements”.
The plan, which lays out prospects
for the next three years, has been
built through a comprehensive
process of consultation, according
to Guild national president George
Tambassis.
“Our Pharmacy Guild members
are operating in an environment of
transition as the 6th Community
Pharmacy Agreement has
commenced,” Tambassis wrote in
this week’s Forefront update.
“Uppermost for many
members are issues of financial
viability and pharmacy business transformation...as a result this
Corporate Plan is firmly centred on
providing compelling value to all
members,” he said.
Developed by a working group
which incorporated feedback from
Branch Committees, the plan is
structured on goals of community
pharmacy sustainability, business
support and innovation.
“We will achieve this not only
through the Guild itself, but
through our Guild family companies
who are working to provide
innovative and practical solutions
not only for member pharmacies,
but also for their employees.”
Elements include provision of
high quality workplace relations
support, increasing the uptake of
e-health platforms, and promoting
excellence in community pharmacy
management and practice.
