‘Health care across the world is changing very quickly. It’s being driven by innovation, and pharmacists historically have embraced innovation and technology,' he said.
‘What excites me most about our profession at the moment is that we have the chance to do more. Our scope of practice is expanding rapidly, and with that comes opportunities to help more people deliver more outcomes and improve the health system.'
