The Pharmacy Guild of Australia, Queensland, has announced the election of Matthew
Newman as the Branch Committee member for Brisbane.
The vacancy resulted from Amanda Seeto’s resignation from the role following her appointment as CEO of the Australasian College of Pharmacy.
Queensland Branch President Chris Owen welcomes Matthew’s election and looks forward to working more closely with him.
“Committee members are critical to representing the membership of The Pharmacy Guild,” says Mr Owen.
“Our success as a membership organisation would not be possible without the work carried out by members of the Committee.
“I’ve worked with Matthew through a number of different settings, and I can think of no better candidate to undertake this important role.
“Matthew, a pharmacist with Foote’s Pharmacy Group in Rosewood, is a fantastic community pharmacist and exemplifies the excellence our patients have come to expect from our members.”
Mr Newman says he was thrilled to be taking on this new position and was excited to have the opportunity to work at the committee level within the Guild.
“I’m excited to get the chance to represent Queensland’s community pharmacists and help shape health policy in the state,” he says.
“It’s an important time for community pharmacists, and I’m keen to work with others to strengthen our role in providing primary care to our patients.”
