Sclavos to step down in Oct
April 16, 2013
The announcement that the
Guild’s National President,
Kos Sclavos, will step down
from October this year is a
significant event in the life
of the Guild and has caused
much interest across the
industry.
Mr Sclavos said: “I have
made this decision in the
best interests of the Guild
and its members. The timing
will ensure a well organised
succession before I leave my
position.
“As we approach the
prospect of a Sixth
Agreement to be negotiated
from next year, I believe the
time is right for me – after
eight years in the job - to take
part in an orderly transition
to a new National President.”
Medicines Australia chief
executive Dr Brendan Shaw
has congratulated Mr Sclavos
on a significant record of
achievement.
“Kos has made a
tremendous contribution
to the broader medicines
sector,” Dr Shaw said.
“He has been a consistently
passionate and committed
advocate for community
pharmacy and for the
Pharmaceutical Benefits
Scheme.
Executive Director of the
Guild, David Quilty said: “The
passion and commitment of
Kos Sclavos is unparalleled
and no one has done more
over the last decade to secure
the viability and drive the
quality of Australia’s 5,200
community pharmacies.
