Pharmacy Forecast Australia

About Pharmacy Forecast Australia

Now in its fourth year, the Pharmacy Forecast Australia is a robust conversation-starter, a strategic thought leadership piece on emerging trends and phenomena forecasted to impact pharmacy practice and the health of Australian patients into 2029.

It is intended to help equip hospital pharmacy departments to proactively position themselves and their teams for potential future events and trends with contextualised recommendations by the report’s authors.

Pharmacy Forecast Australia is a stimulant to prompt discussion that assists health system leaders in their strategic planning efforts and in their mission to provide optimal care for patients and advancing the profession of pharmacy.
