APP Conference 2026

The role of the CSO wholesalers in delivering a patient-centric medicine supply chain was outlined by CEO Elizabeth Cuming at the recent APP Conference industry panel discussion.

 

Underpinned by the essential architecture of the CSO, 8CPA and 1PWA, we are dedicated to supporting government and pharmacy objectives, including cheaper medicines, continued equity of access for rural and remote patients and an expanded role for pharmacy as frontline healthcare providers.

 

Our shared challenges continue to be global medicine shortages and an increasing fall in Australia’s vaccination rates with collaboration essential in managing the impact on patients.

 

Our thanks to The Pharmacy Guild of Australia, and fellow panelists for keeping industry issues front and centre.
