🇦🇺 We had a great time at the Pharmaceutical Society of Australia Conference earlier this month!

Among many other events on a packed programme, we attended:

🩸 A presentation from our Trustee, Andi Shirtcliffe, on 'Implementing Pharmacy-Based HIV PrEP'
⚖️ A panel discussion chaired by CPA Fellow Andrew McLachlan on 'Keeping Up with the Code of Ethics for Pharmacists'

PSA26 was also a great opportunity to catch up with some wider members of the CPA family, including Amy Chan from our Research and Evaluation team, our Trustee Bronwyn Clark, and our new Youth Ambassador for Australia, Shaylee Mills!

We'd like to thank our valued members, PSA, for inviting us to the event and congratulate them on another very successful conference.
