November conference will discuss PDGs' role in delivering “the vision”
The Royal Pharmaceutical Society's fifth annual conference for pharmacy development groups (PDGs) and interested pharmacists will consider the delivery of the Government's pharmacy strategy in England.
“Pharmacy development groups: delivering the vision” is the
title of the conference, which will take place on 20 November at the
Society’s
London headquarters. The meeting is aimed at PDG members, professional
executive committee pharmacists, pharmaceutical advisers and other pharmacists
with an interest in local development groups as a vehicle for local leadership,
innovation, communication and cross-sector collaboration.
Speakers will include Heather Gray, pharmacist project manager with the
National Primary and Care Trust Development Programme (NatPaCT), who
will look at organisational competencies for PCTs and the opportunities
for pharmacy development groups and Miriam Armstrong, chief executive
of PharmacyHealthLink, who will speak on the public health agenda.
The Society’s professional development manager, Anne Adams, said: “The
day will allow speakers from across the pharmacy profession to share
their perspective of the vision in order to clarify thinking and lead
a discussion on how to best work together to deliver it.”
