With the implementation of the Government’s 60-day dispensing (60DD) policy around the corner (1 September), 60DD is one of the hot topic items on the Pharmacy Connect conference agenda.
A panel discussion, titled ‘D-Day for 60-day dispensing’ and ‘Unveiling the mysteries of 60-day dispensing’ are two conference sessions dedicated to the topic, so make sure you pencil them into your diaries as you won’t want to miss them.
Both of the sessions will delve into the impact of 60DD on community pharmacies, update delegates on the likely patient impacts and explore how pharmacies need to adapt to ensure future viability.
The 60DD policy will also be covered in the opening session industry update, presented by Guild National President, Professor Trent Twomey.
Pharmacy Connect Convenor and former Guild National President Kos Sclavos AM, says with the timing of this year’s Pharmacy Connect and the impending changes impacting community pharmacies, the conference cannot be missed.
“As the Albanese Government has pushed through with their 60-day dispensing plan, pharmacies need to consider the broader implications of this program and consider what changes they need to make to their business now.
“The 60-day dispensing panel discussion will cover the key issues pharmacies need to consider in order to mitigate the detrimental impacts of 60-day dispensing.
“The panel will feature pharmacy accountant, business advisor and evaluation expert Trent Ruprecht, pharmacy finance broker Richard Gorman, and Guild National President Professor Trent Twomey.
“I encourage all pharmacy owners and managers to be in attendance at this extremely important session on Friday afternoon,” says Mr Sclavos.
Pharmacy Connect takes place this week from 31 August to 2 September at the Hyatt Regency Sydney.
