Raven’s Recruitment and the National Australian Pharmacy Students' Association (NAPSA) have signed a new and innovative Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) that aims to support first-year pharmacy students by awarding scholarships to selected individuals to attend major pharmacy conferences and professional events.
The initiative is designed to encourage students who may not have otherwise had the opportunity to attend these events, giving them access to invaluable business and clinical knowledge, as well as networking opportunities with leading professionals in the industry.
As part of its ongoing commitment to supporting the future pharmacy workforce, Raven’s Recruitment also runs Australia’s leading Pharmacy Careers Summit (PCS25) in July - a free and fully virtual event with the principal support of the Pharmacy Guild of Australia.
Heidi Dariz, General Manager of Raven’s Recruitment, commented:
“We have a deep and long-standing history of supporting pharmacy students, and collaborating with NAPSA on this new scholarship with Seb and his team is something we welcome. We trust this initiative will help students who may have otherwise missed out on the opportunity to attend a major conference, giving them invaluable insights into the profession they are joining.”
Sebastian Harper, National President of NAPSA, said:
“NAPSA is committed to delivering more benefits to our members, and allowing them to access the opportunities our vast profession provides. Securing this agreement means more pharmacy students will be charting a course for career growth.”
Under this MOU, NAPSA and Raven’s Recruitment will work closely together to select scholarship recipients, ensuring the initiative provides meaningful support to pharmacy students across Australia.
