With the goal of supporting the profession to grow, the Society works with the Government and Te Whatu Ora districts as the voice of all pharmacists while delivering leading edge education and specialised training not only to pharmacists but also technicians, interns, and other health professionals.
This work aims to enable the professional to keep up to date in a complex evolving environment and to provide a range of services to the public unlocking the pharmacist’s full potential. The Society also educates the community on existing and new services that pharmacists provide, positioning the profession as trusted healthcare professionals.
