Advocacy

We work collaboratively with government agencies and key health sector stakeholders to advocate on your behalf.

Through our advocacy and engagement work we influence government policy development as it relates to the practice of pharmacy. 

We present the perspective of the pharmacy profession and highlight the opportunities pharmacists may provide in contributing to the health care of New Zealanders.

Many written submissions are made on specific issues to organisations such as the Ministry of Health, PHARMAC, Medsafe, Medicines Classification Committee, Central Technical Advisory Service (CTAS) and Parliamentary Select Committees.

We are the professional voice for pharmacy. We welcome feedback from members about pharmacy issues and concerns that are important to you - please share your thoughts.
