The event was filled with excitement as we celebrated alongside our members, suppliers, and industry insiders.

Asia-Pacific Part II: Role of Community in delivering healthcare The Pharmacy Guild of Australia holds a symposium every year and this year their annual meet was joined and addressed by Novartis ANZ's Country President where they talked and discussed about how together with pharma companies and community pharmacies, they can strengthen the healthcare ecosystem in Australia. To understand the magnitude of impact of community pharmacies in Australia, there are almost 6000 pharmacies which dispense about 250million prescriptions annually to patients under the Federal Government’s subsidized Pharmaceutical Benefits Scheme (PBS) through which medicines are provided to all Australians at same lower prices, irrespective of where they live. This points out the significance of community healthcare in delivering care to patients. Collaboration of big pharma with the pharmacy society of Australia shows that there lies huge potential to make medicines accessible to everyone through a strong community network. Even patients would always prefer to receive best possible care and treatment in their own community settings. Large national hospital and care centers are always over-burdened and if treatment becomes concentrated at these large centers only, it will increase healthcare costs and create even more burden. Focusing on growing and strengthening community care network should be the next big focus for pharma companies and governments alike.

A Prescription for Driving Consumer Healthcare Success in Pharmacy Are you involved in marketing and selling Consumer Healthcare brands in the pharmacy channel?   If so, you’ll know it’s a rapidly evolving marketplace with constant changes in retail pharmacy structure and the regulatory environment. It’s also unique as the Pharmacists are the key influencers at the heart of every sale and owners of the selling environment.   In conjunction with Consumer Healthcare Products Australia, I’m running a 2 – day workshop in May, leveraging the global best practice from XPotential to drive consumer healthcare brand success. We’ll cover, amongst other things: ·        The structure, evolution and trends in the Australian Pharmacy environment and how this will impact your brands. ·        How behavioural economics can improve the impact of your brand in driving health literacy (and enhanced patient compliance). ·        How different Pharmacy Groups work and the likely impact on your selling environment. ·        Provide insights into Pharmacist needs and drivers to improve your effectiveness in marketing and selling.   A link to more details can be found in the comments, or message me for more information.   Out of interest, how often would you visit a pharmacy every year? Please let me know in the comments. #pharmacy #consumerhealthcare #healthcare #marketing #sales #training
