SHPA welcomes the long-awaited review of the 22-year old National Medicines Policy as an opportunity to reflect fundamental changes to medicines access, policy and funding and the increasing importance of hospital pharmacy to the sustainability of the PBS.

SHPA has welcomed the fastest million COVID-19 vaccine doses in state and territory run clinics to-date and the further activation of community pharmacists in the rollout, while backing higher vaccine rates as the path out of rolling restrictions.

SHPA welcomes the latest COVID-19 vaccine milestone as hospital pharmacists + their clinician peers ensure the agility of Australia’s roll-out through large-scale clinics in high-density population centres + community pharmacy in rural + remote areas.

SHPA reinforces its ongoing commitment to reconciliation as an integral part of sustainable pharmacy practice as NAIDOC Week commenced on Sunday.

A new thought leadership piece on emerging trends projected to impact pharmacy practice and Australian patients' health has synthesised the visions of leading practitioners through ‘wisdom of crowds’ methodology for the first time in Australia.

SHPA strongly supports Australia’s federal, state and territory health ministers’ view of vaccination as the ‘way out’ of the COVID-19 pandemic and welcomes the rapid escalation in vaccine uptake across the country, led by large-scale clinics.

SHPA has comprehensively revised leading guidelines on the provision of specialised infectious diseases (ID) pharmacist care, leading a bumper issue of the Society’s flagship journal.

A consortia of Australia’s leading medicine safety experts has endorsed calls to turn the tide on unsafe medicine use and better protect Australians against preventable harm caused by medicines.

SHPA members are progressive advocates for clinical excellence, committed to evidence-based practice and passionate about patient care.

Please note the SHPA office is currently closed with staff working remotely. Until further notice, the SHPA Secretariat landline will not be in use, please direct enquiries to shpa@shpa.org.au or directly to relevant SHPA staff via email or mobile.
