Medicines Management 2024
Australia’s largest (and greenest) scientific pharmacy conference ignited in Adelaide across 14-16 November 2024, under the theme: It starts with a spark!
Over three illuminating days at the Adelaide Convention Centre, near the heart of Adelaide BioMed City, South Australia's world-class precinct of research translation and innovation, MM2024 saw the highest annual honours awarded to Peter Fowler FANZCAP (CritCare), 2024 Fred J Boyd Award; Adam Livori FANZCAP (Cardiol., Research), 2024 AdPha Medal of Merit; and Susan Trevillian FANZCAP (Lead&Mgmt, RuralHlth), 2024 Australian Clinical Pharmacy Award.
As the dust settled on Sunday, the AdPha community celebrated one of our most successful conferences yet following the announcement of its Members’ Awards, conference awards, winners of the AdPha Resident of the Year, inaugural AdPha Registrar of the Year, and a spectacular Gala Dinner.
