SHPA careers push
May 19, 2010
“REMUNERATION for
pharmacists working in hospitals is
very attractive,” according to ceo of
the Society of Hospital Pharmacists
of Australia, Yvonne Allinson.
SHPA said that while the increase
in pharmacy graduates means
there is now increased competition
for pharmacy positions in all sectors
particularly in metropolitan areas.
“However many opportunities
remain in rural and regional areas
and this can be a good place for
keen pharmacists to build their
careers,” Allinson said.
She said that award rates for
pharmacists in hospitals with access
to salary packaging, generous
overtime and leave loading
conditions are very competitive,
while other benefits include working
as part of a team, with stable and
secure employment and access to a
career path with promotional
opportunities.
SHPA operates a Job Register
website at jobs.shpa.org.au, as well
as promoting hospital pharmacy
careers via its World of Possibilities
portal at careers.shpa.org.au.
