Dr Lilian Azzopardi, lecturer at the Department of Pharmacy, presented a report on an International survey on Quality Standards in Community Pharmacy at the World Congress of Pharmacy and Pharmaceutical Sciences held earlier this month in Sydney.
Later, Dr Azzopardi participated at a press conference given by the Community Pharmacy Section of the International Pharmaceutical Federation (FIP) at the Conference Centre at Darling Harbour.
Guidelines based on Dr Azzopardi's report for the Development and Application of Quality Care Standards in Community Pharmacy are being prepared for endorsement by FIP later this year.
Dr Azzopardi is the author of the book Validation Instruments for Community Pharmacy - Pharmaceutical Care for the Third Millennium, published by the Pharmaceutical Products Press in the USA.
