If you need to catch up on all the happenings in pharmacy post-break, Australian Pharmacist has you covered.

With a ferocious bushfire season that ravaged much of the country followed by the COVID-19 pandemic – pharmacists were on the frontline every step of the way.
In one of the most challenging years on record, pharmacists have gone to great lengths to fill healthcare gaps and adapt quickly to change. Here, eight pharmacists reflect on some of their standout experiences.

The range of vaccines trained pharmacist immunisers can administer should be expanded in order to protect the community, PSA has argued in its 2021–22 Pre-Budget Submission to the Victorian Government.
