2nd National Pharmacy Conference

2^nd National Pharmacy Conference

Sponsored by Aspen Pharmacare

The 2013 conference, the first of its kind to be hosted by the SAPC, was a resounding success and received accolades from both national and international delegates. The upcoming conference, like the first, will serve as a platform for all the different pharmacy sectors to share knowledge, have their say and contribute towards building the profession into a cohesive unit. The ultimate aim is to propel the profession to greater heights of quality pharmaceutical care through an understanding gained from shared experiences.

The First National Pharmacy Conference’s objective was to mould the pharmacy profession into a force that could unite behind a shared vision in order to contribute more significantly to a stronger South African healthcare system as we move towards Pharmacy 2030. This remains a major objective of the South African Pharmacy Council. However, the specific objective of the 2016 Conference will be to identify specific stepping stones as we shape the future of South African Pharmacy. Some of the hot programme topics include:

• Utilising technology to improve pharmaceutical services
• Finding the caring face of pharmacy
• Use of social media to improve health outcomes
• The well rounded health care professional
• Education legislation and its impact on pharmacy
• Innovative ways for delivery of medicines
• Cost of malpractice to the healthcare profession
• Pharmacy collaborating with other complementary and alternative health professions including traditional healers
• Adding value without monetary expectations
• Human Resources in Pharmacy : Progress to date
• National Health Insurance : Progress to date
• Distribution of pharmaceutical services in the Country
• AND MUCH MUCH MORE
