Sclavos to step down in Oct
April 15, 2013
GUILD executive director David
Quilty has paid tribute to National
President Kos Sclavos, who this
morning announced his resignation
later this year (PD breaking news).
Sclavos, who’s been in the role
for more than eight years, said the
time was right to step aside and
allow an orderly transition to a new
National President who can engage
with key stakeholders and establish
relationships well ahead of the
negotiation of the Sixth Community
Pharmacy Agreement.
Quilty acknowledged the
“extraordinary contribution that
Kos has made to community
pharmacy in Australia.
“His passion and commitment 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,” Quilty said.
Sclavos’ achievements include
the Fifth Agreement and its
introduction of “innovative,
remunerated professional
pharmacy services,” as well as
systemised IT programs, quality
accreditation schemes and
leadership on eHealth.
Sclavos said he was announcing
the move today, 15 April, exactly
ten years after his son Stanley lost
his battle with leukaemia at the age
of just ten.
“My family will always be grateful
for the support pharmacy and the
pharmaceutical industry provided
to us at that incredibly difficult
time,” he said.
Sclavos said he would no longer
serve as a National Councillor for
Queensland after October, but
would remain on the state’s Branch
Committee and “hopes to continue
to contribute in other ways to the
work of the Guild.
