Empowering Diversity and Inclusivity in Pharmacy
Care Pharmaceuticals and Hydralyte are excited to partner with PSA for the PSA Faye McMillan Conference Grant. Recognising the significance of inclusivity, we acknowledge the ongoing need to increase participation of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people in pharmacy. We hope this grant opportunity represents a genuine commitment to support the existing pharmacist workforce who identify as Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people.
The PSA Faye McMillan Conference Grant
