New role for Kos Sclavos
November 1, 2013
Former Pharmacy Guild of
Australia National President, Kos
Sclavos, has been appointed as
a Senior Health Strategist with
Australian based management
consulting, technology and systems
integrator Sinapse.
The move follows Sclavos’
resignation from his longstanding
Guild role last week, with the
Sinapse position complementing his
other activities which see him as a
director of Terry White Chemists,
chairing the Guild’s APP conference,
on the board of GuildLink and on
the Queensland Branch of the
Pharmacy Guild.
Sclavos also serves as an Assistant
Commissioner for Allied Health on
the Health Quality and Complaints
Commission of Queensland.
He said his appointment to
Sinapse “acknowledges the
important role that community
pharmacy and the pharmacist will
play into the future.
“The health system is rapidly
changing and as we move to a
patient centric system, coupled
with ‘e’ enablement, it is my view
that health industry participants
should be utilising the resources of
the community pharmacy network
and building stronger partnerships,”
he said.
Pharmaceutical manufacturers,
generic companies, pharmacy
wholesalers and other industry
players can significantly benefit
from partnering pharmacies,
Sclavos added.
Sinapse founding partner Con
Tangalakis, who was formerly
gm marketing for Sigma/Arrow
Pharmaceuticals, said he was
proud to welcome Sclavos to the
company, describing him as a
“pharmacy industry legend.
“Very few people in Australia
understand pharmacy like Kos...
he has long been an innovator in
pharmacy practice in Australia”.
Tangalakis said he believed that
Sinapse can now bring even greater
insight on the pharmaceutical
sector, adding: “Kos adds another
dimension to our company”.
