PROMINENT speakers and early bird registrations have been announced for the 48th SHPA National Conference, Medicines Management 2024 (MM2024).
This year's event, scheduled to take place in Adelaide from 14-16 Nov, will feature presenters such as journalist Stan Grant, artist and visual storyteller Simon Banks, and thought leader Yemi Penn.
Following Federal Health Minister Mark Butler's address, the conference will kick off with a keynote presentation by Grant.
The second plenary session will begin with an address by Shadow Health Minister Senator Anne Ruston, followed by Banks.
Closing the program, Penn will encourage a shift in perspective to improve performance sustainably.
Dr Kate O'Hara, SHPA Vice President, highlighted the impact of the speakers.
"Simon will use design theory, utilising visual storytelling and drawings, to challenge the pharmacists and dispensary technicians in the audience.
"Yemi's strong affirming energy and 'rebellious curiosity', will compel the audience to really sit back and listen.
"And, of course, we are especially honoured to have Stan take us on a journey through his remarkable life as a journalist and fearless advocate to show us how important communication is when questioning justice and fighting for the rights of First Nations people."
O'Hara also urged practitioners to show that "spark that could ignite a whole new way of thinking", by submitting an abstract by 11:59pm AEST on 15 Jul - see more HERE. JG
