Raven’s Recruitment and the National Australian Pharmacy Students’ Association (NAPSA)
have signed a new and innovative Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) that aims to
support first-year pharmacy students by awarding scholarships to selected individuals to
attend major pharmacy conferences and professional events.
The initiative is designed to encourage students who may not have otherwise had the
opportunity to attend these events, giving them access to invaluable business and clinical
knowledge, as well as networking opportunities with leading professionals in the industry.
As part of its ongoing commitment to supporting the future pharmacy workforce, Raven’s
Recruitment also runs Australia’s leading Pharmacy Careers Summit (PCS25) in July – a free and fully virtual event with the principal support of the Pharmacy Guild of Australia.
Heidi Dariz, General Manager of Raven’s Recruitment, commented:
“We have a deep and long-standing history of supporting pharmacy students, and
collaborating with NAPSA on this new scholarship with Seb and his team is something we
welcome. We trust this initiative will help students who may have otherwise missed out on
the opportunity to attend a major conference, giving them invaluable insights into the
profession they are joining.”
Sebastian Harper, National President of NAPSA, said:
“NAPSA is committed to delivering more benefits to our members, and allowing them to
access the opportunities our vast profession provides. Securing this agreement means more pharmacy students will be charting a course for career growth.”
Under this MOU, NAPSA and Raven’s Recruitment will work closely together to select
scholarship recipients, ensuring the initiative provides meaningful support to pharmacy
students across Australia
