The “exciting and pragmatic change” aims to maximise the focus on world-leading professional development for Australian pharmacists.
The Pharmaceutical Society of Australia (PSA) Board has just announced plans to acquire the Australasian College of Pharmacy (the College), further growing PSA’s leadership in education and training for pharmacists, pharmacy assistants and technicians.
The decision to acquire the College is part of the PSA Board’s broader plan to maximise member value through growth, expanding education opportunities for the profession, and securing a long-term, sustainable future for PSA as the premier training and education provider for pharmacy professionals.
Associate Professor Fei Sim, National President and Chair of the PSA Board, said the acquisition will be a transformational opportunity to grow PSA’s industry-leading education and workforce development offer and puts PSA in a stronger representative and financial position to support and advocate for members during this pivotal time of practice change in pharmacy.
The College’s Chief Executive Officer Amanda Seeto said the College and the PSA had always shared a commitment to providing contemporary education and training in a format that is accessible, efficient, and most importantly – highly relevant to Australian pharmacists.
