The Society of Hospital Pharmacists of Australia

Over three days this winter SHPA and the National Australian Pharmacy Students’ Association (NAPSA) will again deliver the SHPA-NAPSA Student Symposium 2021 while partnering in support of the new Australian Journal of Pharmacy Students.

SHPA welcomes new milestone figures as Australia’s COVID-19 vaccine roll-out continues to gather pace, with hospital pharmacists and technicians playing central roles in large-scale state and territory government run clinics.

As Australia’s COVID-19 vaccine rollout grows dramatically in scale across the country, SHPA has opened the call for abstracts for Australia’s largest scientific pharmacy conference in Adelaide on 25–27 November 2021.

SHPA has recommitted to meaningful action in the name of reconciliation at the conclusion of National Reconciliation Week 2021.

For most SHPA members, June is membership renewal time – we look forward to another year as your professional partner! Renew to stay connected to your community of leading pharmacists and technicians and a range of programs, initiatives and resources available to you as an ongoing SHPA member.

SHPA commends the Federal Government’s new vaccine deal with Moderna, as hospital pharmacists and technicians play central role in the largest public health initiative in Australia’s history.

SHPA welcomes ongoing focus on aged care, support for hospitals in the COVID-19 vaccine roll-out and nearly $900m for the PBS in the Federal Government’s second ‘pandemic budget’.

New two-year Advanced Training Residencies in Cancer Services, Critical Care, Geriatric Medicine and Medicines Information are open at accredited sites nationally, as SHPA formally expanded its Australia-first Residency Program today.

SHPA warmly congratulates Adjunct Associate Professor Steve Morris following his decision to step down as CEO of NPS MedicineWise in July 2021, after nearly three years at the helm.

SHPA has released the comprehensively revised ‘Standard of practice in intensive care for pharmacy services’ in the latest issue of JPPR, defining pharmacist-to-patient ratios, and standardising national and state-based classifications for the first time.

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.
