September 25, 2019 at 2:06 pmHi Greg – Thanks for your post. The Pharmaceutical Society of Australia (and its State and Territory branches) have nothing to do with pharmaceutical companies or the pharmaceutical industry. PSA is the only Australian Government-recognised peak national professional pharmacy organisation representing all of Australia’s 31,000 pharmacists working in all sectors and across all locations psa.org.au
We are delighted that Steven Drew is joining Hepatitis NSW as our new CEO. Steven brings a wealth of experience he has gained in leadership positions in the community, NGO and government sectors. Please contact us if you would like more information.
