Pharmacist Summit
Adcock Ingram hosted its first Pharmacist Summit at the Sandton Convention Centre, on 13th and 14th November 2010. More than 300 pharmacists attended the Summit, a first of its kind in South Africa. A panel of specialists shared information on current industry trends and pertinent issues affecting the pharmaceutical sector. The panelists presented various topics that covered the Pharmacy Dispensing Fees, the implications of the new Consumer Protection Act on the industry, Over-The-Counter (OTC) Pain Management and the benefits of supplements.
The Summit provided the attendees an opportunity to network with industry peers while exchanging valuable information about the core of their business and the industry at large. Tips about how to improve business growth and patient care remained one of the main focuses at the Summit.
This initiative is Adcock Ingram's way of reiterating its commitment to delivering quality medicines and adding value to the lives of those who strive to provide easy access for consumers. As a leader of choice in OTC products, Adcock Ingram is intensely aware of the issues facing OTC medication at pharmacies and is currently planning the next Pharmacist Summit which will be held in November 2011.
