PA Conference returns in 2022

Following a two-year break due to Covid-19, the Pharmacy Assistant (PA) National Conference (PA2022) returns to the Sofitel Brisbane Central from 28-29 October 2022.

With a focus on wellness and wellbeing, PA2022 is the pharmacy industry’s opportunity to acknowledge, celebrate and reward pharmacy assistants. 

“PA2022 is an amazing opportunity for pharmacy assistants to engage with their peers and learn from the experience of others,” says Pharmacy Guild of Australia National President Professor Trent Twomey.

Mr Twomey says that this year, for the first time, the Pharmacy Guild is offering early bird registration.

By registering early – before 1 September 2022 – delegates have the opportunity to save $65.

Mr Twomey encourages pharmacies to register their staff in advance and make the most of the new early bird registration with the Covid refund guarantee. 

“If attendees cannot travel to PA2022 due to Covid-19 restrictions or orders to self-isolate they will have the choice to get a full refund or transfer their registration to another delegate,” says Mr Twomey.

“In addition, pharmacies that register two or more staff to attend PA2022 will receive a free APP2023 registration valued at over $1000.” 

The PA2022 program will be available soon and will include sessions on product knowledge, industry updates, management and operations, and wellness topics. 

The program will also showcase The Pharmacy Guild of Australia/Maxigesic Pharmacy Assistant of the Year State Winners, with the National Winner being announced at the Conference Dinner on Saturday night. 

Mr Twomey encourages pharmacies to acknowledge, celebrate and reward their pharmacy assistants by registering now for PA2022 at pharmacyassistants.com.
