THE Society of Hospital Pharmacists of Australia (SHPA) has announced it has surpassed 5,000 members in recent months, claiming the title: 'Australia's fastest growing pharmacy organisation'.
The Society has made a special video profiling Rotational Pharmacist at Flinders Medical Centre, Rita Skipper, commemorating her journey to membership, culminating in her being the 5,000th pharmacist to join - CLICK HERE for the video.
Skipper, who begins in a new role as Clinical Pharmacist at HPS Pharmacies next week, says she is looking forward to driving her career forward through her SHPA membership.
The research and education aspects of pharmacy drew her back from community pharmacy work, she said.
SHPA chief executive Kristin Michaels says the milestone comes in another big year for SHPA, which is preparing to release new strategic directions and a new vision document.
"After our members voted overwhelmingly for a modernised constitution last year, and we welcomed three new expert Board Directors in May, we are ready to build on our comprehensive suite of programs and initiatives, and draw more pharmacists and technicians into our nationwide advocacy to drive the broader profession forward," Michaels said.
