November Forum
On Friday 27 November 2015, DHBs held a national stakeholder forum at the Intercontinental Hotel in Wellington. The overarching aim was to start the conversation with consumers and a broad cross-section of people with specific interest in integrating pharmacists’ services in the community and what that will look like in 5-10 years time.
Attendees included consumers, primary health care providers with links to pharmacy, DHBs, Ministry of Health and other government agencies such as ACC and Ministry of Social Development. Pharmacy was well represented with pharmacists, pharmacy owners, sector representatives, hospital, academia, society and the council in attendance.
