The mission of the Pharmacy Guild of Australia is to enable community pharmacy to serve the needs and preferences of patients and health consumers across Australia using pharmacy’s unique role in medication management and safety.

The Guild’s focus areas, based on strategies, outcomes and measures are Member services and engagement, Advocacy, Community Pharmacy Sustainability, and Governance

There is a Guild branch in each state and territory to provide members with tailored support for business operations, workforce, training, and advocacy. The branch staff delivers Guild initiatives through member pharmacies, maximising member value, and strengthening community pharmacy as a pillar of health care across Australia.

Today we speak with Monique Mackrill, Tasmanian Branch Director, about the work that the Guild is doing at the coal face and what opportunities are available to community pharmacies
