Representing the profession of pharmacy
Introduction
The Pharmaceutical Society of Australia (PSA) was established by the state professional pharmaceutical societies in 1977, some of which had been in existence for over 100 years. The establishment of PSA provided the profession not only with a national identity, but an opportunity to more effectively regulate its affairs, to achieve better coordination in consultation and liaison with the Commonwealth Government, other professions and industry.
PSA is the peak national professional pharmacy organisation representing approximately 75 per cent of pharmacists across Australia. PSA has a dual function, supporting pharmacists’ commitment to high standards of patient care and continuing professional education, and representing their role as frontline health professionals. PSA’s primary role is to provide initial and ongoing education, training and practice support for pharmacists and pharmacy staff.
The society is the leading advocacy organisation for pharmacists, influencing attitudes, opinions and policies through representation, networking, consultation, continuing education, practice support, standards, guidelines and a range of publications and health promoting programs and resources.
Further information regarding the PSA can be found in the PSA Corporate Brochure.
