Get the Forum/PAC10 edge
August 27, 2010
THE Pharmaceutical Society is
encouraging pharmacists to sign up
for the The Australian Association
of Consultant Pharmacy Accredited
Pharmacists’ (AACP) Forum as part
of a full registration for PAC10,
saying it will give pharmacists a
“business and professional edge”.
This year’s Forum at PAC10 is
themed on ‘Clinical and Practical
Skills for MMRs, Building your
Portfolio’ and is set to include a
targeted program of clinical
presentations, therapeutic updates,
clinical controversies and all
important practice pointers.
Discussing the program, current
AACP ceo, Grant Martin, said this
year’s Forum would be particularly
important following the introduction
of mandatory CPD by the
Pharmacy Board of Australia.
In addition to its own AACP
accredited pharmacists, Martin also
said that all pharmacists are
welcome to attend the Forum which
‘has a solid reputation for delivering
a quality clinical seminar at PAC.
“We have selected a range of
expert speakers who will address
topics that will build on the
skills base of attending pharmacists
and better equip them for the
current environment they
work in,” Martin said.
Speakers set to feature in the
Forum line-up include consulting
pharmacist Debbie Rigby, Chair,
AACP chair; Christine Culhane of
the Victorian Psychotropic Drug
Advisory Service; Margaret Thorpe
from Melbourne’s Nixon Hostel;
Victorian accredited pharmacist
Neil Petrie; Dr Peter Tenni,
Manager, Clinical Division of
Medscope; Dr Sonia Davison,
Endocrinologist at the Jean Hailes
Foundation in Victoria; Dr
Geraldine Moses from the Drug
Information Centre of Brisbane’s
Mater Hospital; Professor Michael
Woodward , Medical Director, Aged
and Residential Care Services,
Austin Health in Victoria; and
Debra Rowett, Service Director of
South Australia’s Drug and
Therapeutics Information Service.
PAC10 Orcanising Committie
Chairperson Alistair Lloyd is also
encouraging AACP Forum
delegates to sign-up to the full
PAC10 program saying that it
“complements the AACP Forum in
that the presentations have been
specially designed to give pharmacy
delegates a business and professional
edge” - see www.pac10.com.au.
