Pharmacies wanting to reward, recognise and retain staff for their hard work with a ticket to this year’s Pharmacy Assistant National Conference (PA2022) have two weeks left to register at the early bird rate, which closes on 1 September.
The PA Conference is an annual event hosted by The Pharmacy Guild of Australia which offers a two-day education program including refresher training, a trade exhibition and networking and social functions for pharmacy assistants.
The event provides the perfect opportunity to not only reward staff for the integral frontline role they have undertaken during the pandemic but will also assist in retaining staff by recognising their valuable contribution.
With limited face-to-face education and networking opportunities over the past two years, PA2022 is also the perfect place for pharmacy assistants to connect with peers and debrief about the challenges of COVID-19.
As well as the early bird rate which will save your pharmacy $65 off the full registration fee, PA2022 also offers a range of registration packages to allow pharmacy assistants to experience the event, without committing to a full day or days away from the pharmacy.
The registration packages were introduced in recognition of staff shortages in pharmacy, which make time away from the pharmacy for education and professional development difficult.
Pharmacies which register two or more staff will also be rewarded with a free APP2023 registration valued at over $1,000. This is an amazing opportunity for your pharmacy’s staff to experience two of the industry’s peak events for a reduced cost.
To register your staff at the early bird rate or to view the new registration packages available, go to pharmacyassistants.com.
