The Pharmacy Guild and CPA sign MOU
November 6, 2012
Following visits to each
other's country this year, the
Guild and the Community
Pharmacy Association (CPA) of
Thailand signed a
Memorandum of
Understanding (MOU) at the
Federation Internationale
Pharmaceutique (FIP)
Conference in Amsterdam.
Guild National Councillor Paul
Sinclair signed the MOU on
behalf of the Guild with
Thailand's CPA president,
Chongmas Nitisingkarin, in
front of delegates attending
the community pharmacy
session at FIP on Sunday 7
October.
The focus of the MOU is the
community pharmacy quality
assurance and accreditation
systems of the two countries,
and how they are supported by
each organisation.
The Guild will help CPA to
monitor how they are
responding to various
influences over their systems of
health care, such as Association
of South East Asian Nations
(ASEAN) and the goals of the
'ASEAN Vision 2020'.
Strategically, international
activity is important for the
Guild, as expertise specific to
our region is built and shared.
Given the benefits of our
community pharmacy model
for health consumers, Australia
has a lot to offer our
neighbours in terms of advice
and assistance, especially in
relation to quality services.
In the future, the Guild will
continue to work ensuring
excellent relations with
corresponding organisations
across the region, recognising
the Government's and all
Australians focus on Asia.
