UQ Pharmacy Student. QPSA External Affairs Officer for 2019. Excited for the future of pharmacy, sinking my teeth into all the medicines (but not like that)
Student membership of @the_shpa and @PSA_National is free and provides opportunities for students to attend events like #QLDATU19 and #mm2019 why wouldn’t you want to get involved?
Surprise question “would you be surprised if this person was here next year” if life expectancy < time to benefit, good time to think deprescribing #QLDATU19@DRugby56
Informative session on vaccination in adults and the role of pharmacists in boosting vaccination rates. Case studies on influenza, pertussis and measles, range of services and advice that can be provided #QLDATU19
Red day has been a great success with our bake sale raising over $400 for @redcrossbloodau We even gave billy the blood drop a tour of the @UQPharmacy consulting rooms #vampirecup@NAPSA_Rx

Want to go rural but don’t know where to start? @NAPSA_Rx has a rural community pharmacy map. Otherwise @SamHarveyRx recommends contacting friends, networking or contacting professional orgs (like us!) to find a placement.
Rural and indigenous chair @starkfortune inviting us all to come to Mt Isa for placement. Also talking about the @NAPSA_Rx and @locumco scholarship to break down the financial barriers of going rural
Gabe Upton, pharmacy representative from @TROHPIQ talking about the interdisciplinary experiences to all health students in Queensland looking for opportunities beyond Brisbane
Jessica Burrey from discount chemist outlet Emerald talking about the opportunities to collaborate with other health professionals in the pharmacy and via industry involvement to develop workforce
Key theme is that rural employers see students and interns as an investment in the profession and their business. This investment leads to the drive to create opportunities to keep people in the regions.
