Australian and New Zealand College of Advanced Pharmacy, ‘Be recognised’

As pharmacists around the world come together to celebrate World Pharmacists Day, NZHPA and SHPA are announcing a landmark recognition program that will transform pharmacy practice in Australia and New Zealand.

Unveiled by SHPA President Tom Simpson at the 81st FIP World Congress of Pharmacy and Pharmaceutical Sciences in Brisbane this morning, the Australian and New Zealand College of Advanced Pharmacy (ANZCAP) will support pharmacists and pharmacy technicians from all practice settings to ‘be recognised’ by tracking and planning their career toward Resident, Registrar and Consultant recognition.

Formally opening on Wednesday 11 October, ANZCAP will be powered by an intuitive digital platform enabling practitioners to seamlessly record evidence of their experience and expertise and collate portfolios aligned with one or two of 40 specialty disciplines.

NZHPA President Sian Dawson says the announcement marks another step forward in growing ties between Australia and New Zealand. ‘We are extremely proud to see this transformative program formally announced, which will not only give our pharmacists and pharmacy technicians the recognition they deserve but will provide a broader developmental pathway for pharmacy in New Zealand.’

The ANZCAP online platform will launch on Wednesday 11 October 2023.

From 1 May NZHPA will be welcoming a new administrator - Mel Foster.

Mel is based in Otago and has a wealth of experience dealing with administration for Incorporated Societies and small businesses.

This means that our members will no longer contact PSNZ staff to ask about NZHPA issues. We want to express our sincere appreciation and thanks to Sarah Long, and before her Jess Morrison, who have provided administration support to NZHPA for many years. We have benefitted hugely from their secretarial and administration support allowing us to work more efficiently and effectively.

Updated contact details
Along with a new website we have a new email: Old: [email protected] New: [email protected]

New phone number for Mel: 0204 021 8887

Please note that the NZHPA ‘virtual’ office will be manned every Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday afternoons from 1pm to 5pm. Emails and phone calls will also be checked and monitored on Mondays and Fridays.
