From The Australian Pharmacy Council
The Australian Pharmacy Council (APC) is taking a step forward in delivering on the commitments outlined in its Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) with the National Australian Pharmacy Students Association (NAPSA).
As part of this collaboration, APC is reinforcing its dedication to incorporating a broad range of representatives from across the pharmacy sector on APC committees, specifically the student and consumer voice. This approach aligns with the Ahpra independently chaired Accreditation Committee Principles. Published in August 2024, a guiding principle is to strengthen the involvement of consumers in accreditation, describing students as ‘directly involved consumers’ in the health education accreditation system.
APC is pleased to announce that they are seeking a pharmacy student to join the APC Accreditation Committee for a 3-year term and have opened an EOI for interested students.
The APC Accreditation Committee (AC) decides on and monitors the accreditation of pharmacy degree and educations programs in Australia against our accreditation standards.
APC is seeking a student member who is willing to contribute their expertise to assuring the quality of pharmacy education in Australia to help us ensure future pharmacists meet the needs of our communities.
The role offers a unique opportunity to contribute to the discussions and decision-making from the perspective of students, acknowledging the diversity of views and experiences.
