World RxTech Day - More than just a Tech!

Today we celebrate our amazing Pharmacy Technicians! Chloe, Lisa & Heather!

World Pharmacy Technician Day is a day to recognize, appreciate, and celebrate the vital contributions that pharmacy technicians make every single day. While others might see you as “just a tech,” we know you are so much more. You are the unsung heroes of healthcare—supporting pharmacists, protecting patients, and keeping the entire system running smoothly.

The Pharmacy Guild of Australia is deeply committed to our Student Pharmacists.

That's why we have extended the same financial support we provide Australian Student Pharmacy bodies to The New Zealand Association of Pharmacy Students Otago.

Emily Joy Dvoracek on behalf of NZAPS-O signed our funding agreement this week at NAPSA's Annual Congress together with The Pharmacy Guild of New Zealand (Inc).

The new agreement not only makes it FREE for Student Pharmacists at University of Otago to join NZAPS-O but it also gives them FREE membership to The Australasian College of Pharmacy.

The future for Pharmacy is BRIGHT!
