Primary healthcare is under growing pressure, and community pharmacy has a real opportunity to be part of the solution. Looking beyond our own borders can be incredibly valuable, especially when it comes to learning from markets experiencing rapid change. One such market is the United States, where community pharmacy is evolving fast.
The Guild is delighted to welcome Dr Kristen Riddle, President of the National Community Pharmacists Association (USA), to deliver a keynote at Pharmacy Connect. Drawing on her experience on the ground and her deep policy knowledge, Kristen will share what’s happening in the US right now – from pharmacy closures to new pricing approaches and emerging digital models – and what these shifts could mean for Australian pharmacies.
Delegates will gain practical, real‑world insights into how to sustain independent pharmacies, expanding patient‑centred clinical services, and how to strengthen pharmacy’s trusted role in the community.
