ADEA at the Australian Pharmacy Professional Conference

The Australian Pharmacy Professional Conference & Trade Exhibition (APP) 2022 was held from 24 to 27 March at the Gold Coast Australia and presented a wonderful opportunity for our NDSS Team Leader Cristy Welsh to connect with pharmacy professionals.

6000 people attended the 4-day conference, and the trade hall was a popular spot between talks and plenaries. Many visitors approached our stand to discuss credentialling, the journey to becoming a CDE, and the benefits of being a member of ADEA. We were happy to speak with a number of people and explain the credentialling process. To learn more about credentialling, please click here.

The benefits of pharmacist CDEs were summarised by ADEA staff and volunteers as well as the conference attendees themselves as an essential service for their community, a multifaceted value to their pharmacy and staff, as well as an opportunity to diversify their business. Pharmacists play an important role in the diabetes health team which is why the diabetes community needs more pharmacists who achieve CDE status. Not only do pharmacist CDEs know how to support their clients’ medication usage and product choices, but also how to ask the right questions, give helpful advice or refer a person when necessary.

Cristy was ably assisted over the weekend by several ADEA committee members and student pharmacist volunteers. We’d like to especially thank Laura Zimmerman, Catherine Laird, Kim Dijong, and Joanne Mitchell for taking the time over the weekend to make it such a success.
